Chocolate Malt

Description

HOW IT IS MADE

We produce this malt in our sister plant at Knapton, North Yorkshire in the UK. Chocolate malt is produced by roasting kiln dried malt to temperatures of up to 220°C. Water is used to extend the roasting time and for quenching and cooling at the end of a roast to prevent combustion.
