New cookie mix - Cereal Fusion
Cookie Mix – Cereal Fusion was developed specifically 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 completely new taste experience.
A unique creation by 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 the company’s century-old milling expertise,
• Kalizea’s toasted corn germ flour, made from roasted corn germ, adds delicious notes of hazelnut, popcorn, and toasted grains to your recipes and offers a unique flavor profile,
• Diachoco Dark Spray malt extract from Diamalteria Italiana, specially formulated to work in synergy with cocoa, delivering an unexplored flavor profile: toasted malt, roasted notes, and smoky undertones.
The product is formulated, manufactured, and packaged by ID Ingredients at the Grands Moulins de Paris packaging facility in Briare (Loiret, France).
