MALT EXTRACT SYRUP

Produced using a variant of the brewing process, malted barley is mashed with water, allowing the enzymes to break down the starch and proteinaceous material of the malted grain. Insoluble fiber is removed, and the resulting sugary liquid, instead of being fermented into beer, is concentrated to make a viscous, stable liquid sweetener called malt extract syrup.

May be described as a viscous, tan coloured syrup with a sweet malty taste and aroma
