How to use

Gives espresso flavour depth. Also ideal for refining marinades, savoury sauces, chutneys, chocolates and pralines. An expressive alternative to refined sugar. A classic in BBQ sauces – the caramel note gives homemade rubs and marinades a dark, full-bodied character.

Goes well with

From the baking world: Bourbon spiced sugar, Lebanon spiced sugar and cinnamon-blossom sugar. For BBQ sauces: BBQ Beef, Förster's braising pot. For cocktails: GINGO Power Spyce Gin.

Tip

If the moist sugar becomes too dry or hard over time, it can be softened again overnight in a bowl with a damp cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is muscovado sugar?
Muscovado is an unrefined whole-cane sugar with a high molasses content. Characteristic are the dark-brown colour, the sticky-soft texture and the complex aroma with caramel and light liquorice notes.

How does muscovado differ from brown sugar?
Classic brown sugar is often refined white sugar with a little molasses added. Muscovado, by contrast, is naturally brown because it is not refined at all – the full aroma of the sugar-cane plant is preserved.

When should I use it?
When sweetness with character is called for: BBQ marinades, dark cocktails (rum-based), espresso, chocolate mousse, chutneys, full-bodied sauces.

How do I store the sugar?
Dry, well sealed. If it dries out, cover with a damp cloth overnight – the moist texture returns.
