A Little Bit About Caramel History:
Natural caramel is made from sugar, heated slowly through a process called caramelization. As the sugar melts and reaches the right temperature, the molecules break down into compounds that provide that iconic golden-brown color and rich, nutty flavor.
Did you know? Caramel coloring is one of the oldest food additives in the industry, used to create shades ranging from pale straw yellow to deep, dark brown (Source: Wikipedia).
