Flavour and description
Château Cara Ultra 60 is a new-generation caramel malt designed for breweries and distilleries seeking originality. It is produced through a unique process based on the steam saccharification of green malt in a dedicated chamber, maximizing the formation of simple sugars. These are then polymerized into complex sugars in the roasting drum. This process achieves a very high level of caramelization, even for a malt around 60 EBC. Château Cara Ultra 60 delivers distinctive and intense caramel aromas, along with remarkable smoothness thanks to its lower bitterness and astringency compared to other caramel malts. As a result, it can be used in higher proportions without imparting roasted or coffee-like notes. It also enhances the body of specialty beers and improves foam formation and retention. Suitable for all beer styles — from light lagers and ales to darker beers, including IPAs, ambers, and more. Recommended usage: from 1% up to 30%.
