BriesSpecialty™ Malted Barley Flours

BriesSpecialty™ Malted Barley Flours are innovative, functional ingredients crafted from 100% pure malted barley, designed to naturally enhance flavor, color, and nutritional value in a wide range of food applications. These flours are particularly effective as cocoa extenders, offering a cost-effective and clean-label solution for reducing cocoa usage by up to 15% in many formulations—without compromising on taste or appearance. Available in a variety of roast levels, BriesSpecialty™ flours deliver a spectrum of flavor profiles and color intensities. For example, MBF D350 offers an intense cocoa-like flavor with a rich brown hue and red undertones, while MBF D500 and MBF D500 PF provide a neutral to dark semi-sweet chocolate flavor with a very dark brown to black color. The Organic MBF D550 variant adds whole grain benefits and a robust cocoa flavor, making it ideal for clean-label and organic product lines. These flours are nondiastatic, meaning they contain no active enzymes, and are ideal for applications where flavor and color are the primary focus. They are also natural humectants, helping to retain moisture, extend shelf life, and improve the overall texture of baked goods and snacks. Whether used in brownies, cookies, snack bars, or breakfast cereals, BriesSpecialty™ Malted Barley Flours offer a versatile and sustainable alternative to cocoa powder. In addition to their functional benefits, these flours contribute whole grain nutrition and are available in conventional and organic formats. Their ability to naturally adjust color and flavor while supporting clean-label initiatives makes them a valuable ingredient for formulators seeking to innovate without compromise
