While other brands use pharmaceutical, artificially produced enzymes, gibberellic acid, and potassium bromate to speed and increase production, Eden brand’s centuries old process uses only the grain’s own enzymes and the knowledge and care of artisan maltsters.

The grain is spread out and steeped in water. After steeping is completed, the barley is allowed to germinate and sprout. During the germination process, more than 140 enzymes are created. These enzymes hydrolyze carbohydrates into sugars and break down proteins into amino acids. At just the right time, when sugar levels are optimal, the sprouted grain is kiln roasted, rendering it non diastatic by stopping the enzymatic action, and the malt develops color and flavor. The grain is cured, then mashed, cooked, filtered, concentrated, and packed. The process takes 30 to 45 days.
