Cadenza
C tier
Cadenza is a British spring wheat variety with Group 2 milling quality, used for breadmaking blends and as a flexible spring option where winter wheat is unsuitable. It offers good grain quality and has been widely grown and studied in UK trials and research, including as a genetic and experimental background. Flour is suited to bread and general milling rather than soft biscuit grades, with protein and gluten strength typical of UK Group 2. Millers blend Cadenza-type spring wheat with winter Group 1 grists to balance strength, colour, and supply.

History
UK breeding programmes developed spring Group 2 lines including Cadenza for flexible milling supply.
Cadenza entered Recommended List–type evaluation and commercial spring-wheat markets.
Cadenza became a familiar UK spring milling wheat and research cultivar.
Millers used Cadenza in Group 2 grists for bread flour blends.
Academic and industry trials continued to use Cadenza as a reference spring wheat.
Newer spring varieties competed with Cadenza while it remained known for quality and research use.
