Durum Wheat (Triticum durum)

Russian durum wheat (Triticum durum) is a premium hard amber grain grown primarily in the Volga basin, Orenburg, and southern Siberian regions, valued for its exceptional gluten strength, high carotenoid content, and superior semolina yield. With protein content typically exceeding 13% and a characteristic vitreous kernel structure, Russian durum is highly sought by pasta manufacturers and semolina millers in Mediterranean Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. SFERA LLC sources certified durum wheat from specialist producers with full pre-shipment quality analysis confirming protein, vitreousness, test weight, falling number, and absence of admixture. Russia has emerged as a growing durum exporter with competitive pricing against traditional origins such as Canada and Australia.
