Description
Our stone-ground durum wheat flour embodies the best of traditional milling expertise.
Both powerful and refined, it captivates with its golden yellow colour — the natural signature of durum wheat luteins — and its intense flavour, making it an exceptional flour.
Rich in protein, minerals and antioxidants, this flour combines strength, character and nutritional value to produce authentic breads with a crispy crust and a dense, flavourful crumb.
A true baker’s signature, it allows you to create original, authentic, flavourful breads that are rich in personality.
Origin and usage
Belonging to the large Poaceae family, durum wheat originates from the Fertile Crescent (Mesopotamia, i.e. between Iran and Iraq). Its cultivation developed in ancient Greece and Egypt before spreading throughout the Mediterranean basin.
Suited to hot, dry climates, it is drought-resistant but sensitive to cold weather and heavy rain.
Today, it is mainly grown in the south of France: in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, the Rhône Valley, Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The durum wheat flour we produce at Moulin de Colagne is grown in Occitanie.
Traditionally used for pasta, semolina, flatbreads and couscous, durum wheat is now finding its way into artisan bakeries.
Its flour can be used to make distinctive breads that are rich in flavour and have a colourful crumb.
An original choice for bakers seeking breads that stand out — powerful, refined and deeply natural.
Characteristics and nutrition
Our stone-ground durum wheat flour is produced using traditional milling techniques, ground on a flint millstone and refined using the SODER system. This ensures exceptional quality by fully preserving the wheat germ in all our flours.
From a nutritional point of view, durum wheat is known for its high content of vegetable proteins and slow-release sugars, providing sustained energy. It is also a good source of minerals such as phosphorus, manganese, selenium and zinc. It also contains natural antioxidants.
