How is a high nitrogen fertiliser labeled?It is not 10-10-10, right?

No. 10 percent is low. Garden ferilier is often 15-15-15 which is 15
percent nitrogen and standard lawn fertilizer is 23-?-? which means 23
percent nitrogen. Amonium nitrate will give the highest amount of
nitrogen and is 35 percent nitrogen (if I added up the atomic weights
correctly). Potassium nitrate is only 14 percent nitrogen.
