The Rich History of Caramel
The exact origins of caramel remain somewhat shrouded in mystery, though its name bears a resemblance to the Latin "Caramellus," possibly linked to "sugar cane." This luscious sweet journeyed to Europe through the Crusaders. In the region of Normandy, France, a distinctive touch was added: salted butter and cream. This method of crafting caramel endures to this day, preserving a centuries-old tradition.
