Integrating the malt value chain
Malt is the main ingredient of beer - it takes as much as 200 grams of malt to make a liter of beer. The other ingredients are water, hops (two grams per liter of beer), and yeast (one centiliter per liter of beer).
Malt is a natural food product that results from the transformation of a cereal grain. Barley is the grain most used today, but wheat can also be used for making "white" beers. Malt is the main ingredient used in brewing beer, along with water, hops, and yeast.
Barley, throughout history the most widespread cereal grain, seems to have first been grown in Turkestan, Ethiopia, Tibet, Nepal, and China. Archeological excavations 100 km from Cairo, in Egypt, have shown that barley was grown as early as 5,000 years ago.
Thanks to its experience and its international scope, Malteurop has developed real expertise over the entire malting-barley chain and a complete and dynamic approach to all aspects of barley supply and procurement.
Malteurop is first and foremost an industrial group engaged in the primary processing of barley into malt.
At its base our profession consists in ensuring the availability of malts in the right place, at the right time, at the right price, in the desired quality and quantities, at the point of secondary processing by our brewer customers.
To adapt as well as possible to the expectations and imperatives of brewers and respond to the varied demands of a diversified international clientele, Malteurop offers several modes of commercial collaboration, as well as consulting, engineering, and training services.
