Root Shoot Malting Olandsvete Wheat Malt
Doughy, sweet, bready, nutty with slightly earthy undertones. Versatile for traditional wheat beers and hazy American-style ales. Increases head retention and mouthfeel. Olandsvete tends to provide a little more flavor contribution than white wheat. Root Shoot Malts are crafted to highlight the individual characteristics and terroir of their Loveland CO-grown grains.

More about Root Shoot Malting Olandsvete Wheat:
Olandsvete Wheat (aka Oland Wheat) is a heritage grain that defies easy categorization as red or white. Is a spring-planted wheat, historically from the Swedish Island of Oland (where the Olander family was from way back when! Oland-er!) Oland wheat comes in with a higher protein content than regular malted white wheat. Currently, most white wheat is about 13% protein, and Root Shoots Olandsvete is 16%.
