Golden Malt promotes local small-scale businesses and local production of selected crops and special varieties

Production of high quality sprouted grains and pulses requires specific varieties and trait genetics

Production of germinated and gluten-free products is based on genetic properties of the plant. When striving for top quality malt, special varieties are needed. Golden Malt cooperates with two large plant breeders Sejet and CSIRO to developed tailored barley varieties. During the development work the contract production is based on existing crop varieties.

Local distils have a clear market advantage

 

Northern conditions create unique opportunity to produce premium quality whiskey malt barley. Optimized genetics and white nights lead to extremely high enzyme activity which is an essential feature of our whiskey malt. 

Malt whiskeys are made in two ways. Single malt whiskeys are made solely from malt. Grain whiskeys are made from combination of grain (wheat, rye, corn) and malt. Grain whiskey malt should high a high enzyme activity.

Golden Malt will produce malts for both whiskey types, with high enzyme activity. Our Zanin technology enables also smoked malt production.

Drum malting guarantees high quality end products 

Golden Malt ltd develops germination technologies and related equipment in cooperation with Italian family business Zanin. Patented Zanin drum malting system guarantees higher quality than is achievable via traditional malting methods. Modular system enables closed loop cultivation and crop production for  a variety of end products, including gluten-free grains.
