Sugar - Dark Muscovado (Mauritius) 1#

Wonderfully moist and dark with an exceptional molasses flavor!! Very high quality. It's quite expensive so I use it sparingly and for molasses cookies. To make it last a bit longer I sometimes use half this brand and half my regular organic brown sugar in a recipe. I transferred it to a jar with a tight lid to keep it moist and fresh. I definitely would recommend giving it a try.

I often experiment with new baking and cooking ingredients. Quite often an experimental new ingredient is disappointing. This Dark Muscovado Sugar is a WINNER. It is flavorful, in a unique way. When used judiciously it has an intriguing hint of earthy molasses. I tried it first in hot chocolate. It added to the flavor by contributing a rich, organic flavor. Next, I used it in ployes (Acadian pancakes). It added a delightful hint of the old world. I can't wait to use it in future cookies and cakes. I've been careful to add it in small amounts because the flavor is strong. Weaker (and less pure) versions would be dark brown, and then light brown, sugar. That said, those sugars add molasses back in. This sugar retains it's almost non-processed ingredients naturally. I've read that some shipments arrived rock-hard. Mine arrived moist and easily spooned out. Perfect! I really appreciate this natural, uniquely tasty, sugar that measures, mixes-in, and dissolves readily. I'm old, so I've tasted all the usual desserts a thousand times. I like them, but I’m seeking new twists on my old favorites. My next steps are cinnamon puffs, cinnamon buns, fried dough, cake frostings, pancakes, date cookies, sugar cookies, etc. If you're yearning for an intriguing new twist, give this a try. I recommend it.

As someone that loves to bake I can’t always find the ingredients I need. And some might say this is just brown sugar, but it taste different than regular brown sugar. I have also used this with my oatmeal and sweet potatoes, will buy again.

This is a good sugar with the great molasses aftertaste I wanted to sprinkle it on my coffee but no matter how much I messed it up or stirred it with a fork or put it in the Shaker and shake it to break it apart it's stubbornly refused to stay unclump I would definitely use it when I'm baking rye bread or some kind of coffee cake or pineapple upside down cake cuz it would be a great sugar for that as long as I had to scoop it in and mix it in with a mixer. I had watched a YouTube video on dark sugar and basically the sugar association's All-State that it's basically a regular white sugar with molasses add the den to create the darkness so I would probably go cheap and just use white cane sugar and add molasses to it until I got the right color and flavor

The right product and on time. What else can one say?

Terribly expensive, but honest. Best dark brown sugar you will ever have. Very intense flavor!

This is the best tasting sugar I have had the pleasure of experiencing. It's a very healthy choice too, being mineral rich. People say it has a molasses taste. Yes, but not like a black strap. It is the subtle taste of fresh unrefined natural molasses. Since heating your 'local honey' destroys its unique, subtle micro-nutrients this sugar is a good replacement, if you are inclined to use honey in cooking recipes or for heated beverages. Be cautious. We must be careful to not overindulge in sugar consumption so, self-control is wise.

I bought this Dark Muscovado expecting a truly natural, minimally processed sugar, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. In my opinion, the taste is very similar to regular crystal sugar mixed with molasses, rather than a rich, naturally unrefined cane sugar. The texture and flavor just didn’t feel as authentic as I was hoping for. If you’re looking for a true raw sugar experience, there are other options out there at a similar price point that deliver better quality, like the traditional “panela” or other genuine ground cane sugars. Wasn’t a terrible product, but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Expensive but worth it. As a treat I made sticky toffee pudding and using real ingredients like this made it fantastic.

I wish it was not so expensive it makes the best syrup for your coffee!

Christmas pudding sugar. Worth the price!

Yes, it's just brown sugar, but it tastes more than just sweet. Used for my Christmas brown sugar shortbread this year, which is just flour, butter and brown sugar and it kicked them up to another dimension.

Came to me hard as a rock, discoloured and unusable
