Products for bread
High-quality baked goods are created by using good ingredients. Every business has its own specific requirements – whether you need mixes, bases or concentrates for bread. We are your partner for aroma and taste, not only providing innovative ideas, but leaving room for your individual creativity, as well! With our own malthouses, in-house sourdough production, agricultural trade expertise and tailored service packages, we offer know-how – from grain to crust and beyond.
Whether it’s about compensating for harvest-related fluctuations in flour quality or improving processing and baking properties – there are many ways to make great bread even better, matching it to your product concept. In addition to our wide range of malt and sourdough products, IREKS offers a large selection of mixes, bases and concentrates for bread, tailored to your specific needs. Thanks to our batch-oriented production, we can respond flexibly to individual requirements. This enables us to create a wide range of products with unique characteristics.
An increasing number of consumers care about how food is produced and its impact on people and the environment. At IREKS, we offer a wide range of organic mixes, organic improvers, organic malt products and organic sourdoughs – designed to support the efficient production of baked goods in certified organic quality.
Our products are manufactured in compliance with the strict requirements of Regulation (EU) 2018/848. All agricultural raw materials used are sourced exclusively from certified organic cultivation. Our commitment to organic quality is confirmed by independent certification from a recognized Organic Control Body (DE-ÖKO-001).
Sugar-free, vegan, additive-free, egg-free, lactose-free or palm oil-free – less can be more! Omitting certain ingredients doesn’t mean sacrificing taste or quality.
With our extensive "Free From" range, we offer delicious options for everyone following a special diet – whether due to intolerances, personal well-being, or conscious lifestyle choices. Our advanced allergen management, self-contained, batch-based production and thorough quality controls at every stage ensure that our baking ingredients are not only high in quality but safe, as well.
Originally essential for people with coeliac disease, gluten-free diets have become a growing trend among consumers who consciously choose to avoid gluten. At IREKS, we have been supporting our customers with a comprehensive gluten-free product range since 1995. Producing baking ingredients without gluten is a particular challenge – especially since gluten plays a key role in the structure and baking properties of grain-based products.
In this connection, product safety is our top priority. We use carefully selected gluten-free ingredients, processed in our self-contained batch mixing system to prevent cross-contamination. Final testing is carried out in our IREKS IQ Center.
For many consumers, food isn’t just about flavor — it has to deliver added value. Just as dairy, muesli, or fruit juices are often enriched with protein, vitamins or minerals, baked goods can carry added value, too. Grain and field crops naturally contain many beneficial nutrients, and when combined with the right ingredients, they offer even more.
At IREKS, we support bakeries by providing customized, value-added ingredient solutions. These products enable the creation of baked goods that are not only delicious but also nutritionally enhanced — just right for meeting consumer demand for taste and health in one bite.
Food holds deep cultural and religious significance in both Judaism and Islam, which is why its selection and preparation must follow specific guidelines. In response to this, we have been offering a dedicated assortment of kosher and halal products for many years. To ensure proper certification, IREKS collaborates closely with a rabbi or imam, who assesses all relevant requirements so they can be precisely integrated into the production process. Among the key factors are the origin and certified cultivation of the raw materials, as well as the thorough cleaning procedures applied to the production lines.
With our in-house agricultural trade and our enclosed batch mixing system for producing baking ingredients, we are ideally equipped to meet these standards in full compliance.
