Reliable Lighthouse Light – Light Chocolate Malt

HOW IT IS MADE

We produce this malt at our Pauls Malt Ltd. plant in Knapton, North Yorkshire, UK. Light 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. Shorter roasting time to regular chocolate.
