Malts

A special treatment for the element that's indispensable to beer masters and increasingly more important also in nutrition.

The malt produced by Agroalimentare Sud is appreciated and sought after by all Italian breweries above all for its high quality value. It comes only from barley and wheat stored in nitrogen in the 70 refrigerated silos in the San Nicola di Melfi plant. This storage method does away with insecticides and pesticides and ensures product integrity as well as the absence of potentially harmful residues.

Seeds are selected, as to size and cleaned of any foreign bodies. Two days’ mashing in water at controlled temperature, with frequent changes and input of oxygen. Five days’ germination in tanks at controlled temperature. Drying comes next where the drying temperature will distinguish the malt and, consequently, the beer. When drying is completed a degerminator machine gets rid of germ and rootlets.

At this point one hundred tons of malt are stored every day, ready for delivery.

Find below the list of the main types of malt offered. The malthouse can meet any requirements connected with the type of required malt mix.
