AN OVERVIEW AND HISTORY

WHERE CARAMEL COMES FROM
The history of caramel dates back to at least the 17th century. The word "caramel" is believed to be derived from the Spanish "caramelo," which may have originated from the Latin word "cannamellis," meaning "sugar cane." Caramel was likely accidentally discovered when sugar was cooked over a fire and melted, forming a brown, sweet substance. Early caramel was a simple combination of sugar and water heated until the sugar melted and browned.
Over time, the caramel recipe evolved, adding milk, cream, butter, and vanilla, creating the rich, creamy caramel we know today. Caramel became especially popular in the 19th century, coinciding with the growth of the confectionery industry. Today, caramel is used in various desserts, candies, and savory dishes.
COMMON FOODS USING CARAMEL
