Product Overview

Muscovado Sugar is a natural, unrefined cane sugar known for its dark color, high molasses content, moist texture, and intense caramel-toffee flavor. It is traditionally produced in the Philippines, with additional production in Mauritius, India, and select Latin American countries, using artisanal or low-intervention processing methods.

Unlike brown sugar (which is refined sugar with added molasses), muscovado sugar retains its natural molasses during crystallization, resulting in a sticky, moist sugar with deep flavor complexity. It is widely used in premium baking, gourmet desserts, chocolates, sauces, and artisanal food products.

Muscovado sugar is also known as Barbados sugar in some markets.

Muscovado Sugar - Description

Muscovado sugar is produced by evaporating sugarcane juice and crystallizing it without refining, allowing natural molasses to remain fully integrated within the sugar crystals.

This process results in a sticky, aromatic sugar that enhances both flavor and texture in baked goods and gourmet foods.
