CEREX – Roasted to perfection

The CEREX processor is the definitive technology behind light, puffed cakes.

Using precisely controlled pressure and temperature, it transforms grains and micro-pellets – either on their own or combined with seeds or pulses – Into crispy, healthy product : light, flavourful and perfectly reproducible. From light and airy cakes to protein-rich bars, all with that recognisable ‘puffed’ texture that consumers expect.
