Dark Malt Extract

Dark malt extract is a product with an intense color, deep aroma and distinctive flavor profile. It brings caramel, bready, toasted, molasses, lightly roasted and cereal notes. It is particularly useful when a darker color, stronger aroma and fuller, more characteristic flavor are desired.

Dark malt extract can be used in products such as:

• Beer and non-alcoholic beer, particularly dark beers, caramel beers, porters, bocks, stouts, specialty beers, as well as dark non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beers. In the production of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beer, dark malt extract makes it possible to achieve deep color, a malty character, caramel notes and a typically beer-like profile without the need to ferment to a high alcohol content.
• Dark bread and bakery products, including rye bread, wholemeal bread, multigrain bread, pumpernickel, bread with seeds, fitness bread, as well as traditional and artisan-style products. It improves the color of the crumb and crust, enhances the aroma and gives a deeper flavor.
• Confectionery and sugar-based products, including gingerbread, spiced cookies, dark biscuits, shortbread cookies, wafers, bars, fudge, toffees, caramels, chocolate fillings, creams and coatings. It brings notes of caramel, toasted sugar and malt, as well as delicate roasted accents.
• Breakfast cereals and cereal products, including dark breakfast flakes, granolas, muesli, cereal bars, crispy cereal products, wholegrain products and instant mixes. It gives products a more intense color, richer aroma and a more distinctive character.
• Non-alcoholic and functional beverages, including milk-caramel drinks, cereal coffees, dessert beverages and functional products. It can be used when a darker color, sweet malty-caramel flavor and deep aroma are needed.
• Ice cream, desserts and dairy products, including caramel ice cream, chocolate desserts, puddings, creams, milk drinks and dessert mixtures. It builds a caramel, malty and lightly roasted flavor and improves the product’s texture.
• Sauces, marinades and culinary products, including barbecue sauces, dark sauces, glazes, meat marinades, caramel sauces, dressings and foodservice products. Dark malt extract helps achieve a darker color, deeper flavor, a lightly caramel profile and an attractive aroma of heat processing.
