Organic barley malt syrup 450 g - Horizon

The malting process also increases the product's B vitamin content and contains trace amounts of some minerals from barley.
It has a strong and characteristic aroma, mainly malty, a characteristic dark color and a sweet taste, although not as sweet as honey, agave or maple syrup.
