Our expertise
At Malteurop, we produce malt; a natural and versatile product. Malt is currently mainly used by brewers and distilleries in the production of beer and whisky respectively.
However, malt extract can also be used in food products like bread, cereal bars, and energy drinks. We mostly make barley malt, but also malted wheat for making white beer, for example.
