I've seen some packets of flour labelled 'semolina' but none specify that they're from durum flour. So does this mean that Australian 'semolina' is in fact often an ersatz product made just from regular crushed wheat-germ from conventional flour? Some recipes I want to try to specify genuine durum semolina, a totally different type of wheat from our normal bread flour. A Google search has turned up one manufacturer who says their product is from durum, but they're in WA and shipping to the east coast would be prohibitive.
