Q&A with Cereal & Q Can you tell us a little about the production process behind creating malt extract syrup?

A: Malt extract syrup is manufactured by a process of malting, mashing which allows for the enzymes to breakdown the various starches that exist in the grain followed by filtration and evaporation. The resultant sugary liquid is concentrated into a viscous liquid providing a natural, non-diastatic sweetener with a high energy source consisting of maltose, protein and B-vitamins.
