New cookie mix - Cereal fusion
Cookie Mix – Cereal Fusion was developed especially for the Food Ingredients Europe 2025 trade show. It is a cookie mix that includes two recipes: popcorn flavor and cocoa-malt flavor, offering a whole new taste experience.
A unique creation from the three sister companies Kalizea, ID Ingredients—a brand of Grands Moulins de Paris—and Diamalteria Italiana, combining technical expertise and sensory innovation through cereal-based ingredients sourced from three different cereal supply chains:
• 100% French wheat flour from Grands Moulins de Paris, showcasing its century-old milling expertise,
• Kalizea's toasted corn germ flour, derived from cooked corn germ, adds delicious notes of hazelnut, popcorn, and toasted cereal to your recipes and provides a unique flavor profile.
• Diachoco Dark Spray malt extract from Diamalteria Italiana, specially designed to work in synergy with cocoa, delivering an unexplored flavor profile: roasted malt, roasted and smoky notes.
The preparation is formulated, produced, and assembled by ID Ingredients at the Grands Moulins de Paris assembly plant in Briare (Loiret, France).

Enhancing FLAVOR, COLOR, and TEXTURE for products that reflect their identity

• CEREAL-BASED INGREDIENTS: ID Ingredients offers a wide range of technological and nutritional ingredients, including micronized wheat bran, stabilized wheat germ, and extruded bran balls. In collaboration with Kalizea and Diamalteria Italiana, we also offer natural food products based on corn or malt, which offer unique visual signatures, distinctive taste profiles, and even natural colorings.
• FUNCTIONAL FLOURS for texture: flours with texturizing properties that are perfect for replacing starches and thickeners. This range includes heat-treated functional flours, also known as Gel Tex, used to improve the texture of pasta, sauces, and baked goods, etc.
• SOURDOUGH for taste and color: Grands Moulins de Paris has been producing deactivated and dehydrated sourdough for over 50 years, using a traditional baking method that avoids fermenters. This approach achieves a perfect balance between acidity, aromatic intensity, and toasted notes, giving our sourdough its unique character.
