Soufflet Malt Teams With Eat The Truth to Develop Fermented Malt Flavors for Cocoa and Alcohol-Free Drinks

French maltster Soufflet Malt has partnered with Eat The Truth to develop malt-based flavor ingredients for food and beverage manufacturers, with cocoa replacement and non-alcoholic beverages being the initial focus. By combining malt with Eat The Truth’s fermentation process, flavors such as roasted, cocoa, coffee, umami, and kokumi can be produced from food-grade ingredients without artificial flavors or additives. The partnership aims to provide manufacturers with a simpler, more authentic, and richer taste experience.

This collaboration offers manufacturers a single service covering flavor creation, sensory validation, prototyping, and industrialization. Soufflet Malt brings its malting and fermentation expertise along with a production base of 35 malthouses in 20 countries, while Eat The Truth specializes in flavor development and culinary R&D. By joining forces, the companies aim to offer innovative solutions that go beyond conventional flavors, providing better taste, clean labelling, and more attractive rates for their partners.
