White sugar (for caramel)

Description

White sugar for caramel is fine, transparent-white crystals with a neutral, distinctly sweet taste and pure color, which take on an amber hue and a deep, slightly bitter-buttery-nutty aroma when caramelized. Its purity and uniform granulation facilitate even melting, making it the basis for classic caramel, sauces, dessert sauces, crème brûlée, ice cream, and toppings. Nutritionally, it is practically pure simple carbohydrates, providing quickly absorbable energy, but without vitamins and minerals, so it is advisable to use it in moderation. It should be stored in an airtight container in a dry, cool, and dark place, away from moisture and odors; with proper storage, it maintains its durability for a long time.
