Micropellets: Bridging Health and Taste in Snack Innovation

Alpago, Italy – VALIN, a leading innovator in pellet-based snack production which will exhibit at ISM INGREDIENTS 2026, continues to redefine the boundaries of healthy snacking with its micropellets.

Responding to the growing consumer demand for snacks that are both nutritious and enjoyable, VALIN develops pellets from plant-based ingredients that become a wide variety of crispy, low-fat alternatives to traditional fried snacks.

Micropellets, introduced in the early 2000s, have undergone continuous refinement.

In 2024, VALIN expanded its production capacity by 4,000 tons per year to meet rising global demand. These versatile pellets allow manufacturers to create custom blends using legumes, vegetables and grains, offering a tailored
approach to health-conscious snacking.

“Our mission is to give the best shape to your vision,” says the VALIN R&D team. “Micropellets are
not just a product, they’re a solution for snack makers who want to combine indulgence with
wellness.”

With decades of experience and a commitment to research and innovation, VALIN positions itself as
a strategic partner for food companies aiming to explore and lead in the healthy snack segment.
