A timeless favourite for kids and adults alike
Caramel syrup is perfect for enhancing specialty coffee drinks and can easily elevate your morning beverage. For those who prefer caffeine-free options, it’s also ideal for flavouring hot chocolate, frappés, and milkshakes.
The name "caramel" comes from the Latin word Cannamella, meaning sugarcane. Some sources trace the sweet treat back to 1650s America, when it became common to make small candies from water, caramelised sugar, and butter. Caramel quickly gained popularity—not only for its flavour, but for its long shelf life, high energy content, and simple preparation. By the early 1800s, over 400 caramel-producing companies operated in the U.S. In Europe, it first appeared in late 17th-century France, where it was used to make pralines.
