Grades
- Milling Wheat (Standard) (11.5% - 12.0%) - Standard European bread-making wheat. High hectolitre weight (>76 kg/hl), Hagberg falling number >220s.
- High Protein Wheat (Quality / A-Wheat) (14.0% - 15.0%) - High-protein bread wheat at 14-15%, the improver grade blended into weaker domestic wheat to lift dough strength. Priced as a premium over standard milling wheat rather than as an independent market, so it tracks the milling wheat anchor.
- Durum Wheat (Amber Durum) (13.0% - 15.0%) - Vitreous hard amber wheat exclusively used for semolina pasta production. Concentrated in Mediterranean basins.
