Recipes and inspirations for the professional gourmet!

This website is dedicated to professionals, artisans and industrials who want to experiment cooking with caramel! This great ingredient can bring colour to your dishes or finished products and plays a role of flavour enhancer with sweet, blond or roasted aromatic notes. Traditionally used in puddings or flans, ice creams and other sweet products, caramel is also used in the Asian cuisine: with pork or shrimps, Peking ducks…

The idea of Cuisinez Caramel is to widely explore the use of caramels in unconventional uses. The “co-creativity” between a family-run food company and chefs who have the talent and imagination allows us to innovate in an unconventional way.

You are a Chef and you want to experience Cuisinez Caramel? Contact us, we will find together your caramel signature to create tasty recipes.

The art and science of caramelization
Caramel is a magical ingredient. Take a simple molecule: sugar, which itself consists of two simple sugars: glucose and fructose. Then, heat this sugar with water. It will briefly turn into caramel. The idea of "Cuisinez Caramel" is to widely explore the use of caramels in unconventional uses.
