Goya Malta Beverage
What it is
Malta is a non-alcoholic beverage made from roasted barley. It has a malty, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of caramel. This drink is often enjoyed chilled and is a popular choice in many Latin American countries. It is known for its distinctive dark color and rich aroma, which comes from the roasting process of the barley grains.
How people cook with it
Malta can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing drink or used as a unique ingredient in various culinary applications.
- Enjoy chilled as a standalone beverage
- Use in marinades for meats
- Add to baked goods for depth of flavor

To enjoy Malta as a beverage, simply chill the bottle or can thoroughly before opening. It is best served cold. For cooking, Malta can be used in marinades to tenderize meats and impart a subtle sweetness and caramel undertones. It can also be added to batters for cakes, cookies, or bread to enhance their flavor profile and add a unique malty character. Experiment with adding it to sauces or glazes for a richer taste. The roasting process gives it a flavor that complements both sweet and savory dishes.
