Mulberry trees are native to Persia. They are vital to the production of silk carpets because silk worms feed on their leaves.  Long ago, Mulberry trees were taken east, across Asia to China, and west to Turkey to support silk carpet production.    

There are three common types of mulberry, white, red and black.  We use black mulberries to make our syrup because they are the sweetest and juiciest.  Our mulberry syrup is made by reducing down the juice with sugar until it becomes a deliciously thick syrup ideal for drizzling on yoghurt, ice cream, pancakes, red fruit, and other desserts. 

Pomegranate molasses is a thick syrup with a dark grapey colour.  As with many Middle Eastern ingredients, it's most often used to enhance savoury dishes with fruity flavours.  What makes pomegranate molasses exciting is its tangy, almost citrus bite, meaning that the flavour it introduces to dishes is more like the sweet-sourness of preserved lemons or even tamarind, rather than the fruit-sweetness of sultanas and prunes.  The thick but fluid consistency means that it can easily be incorporated into marinades, dressings, and drinks.

The pomegranate is an ancient fruit with a rich history, native to Asia Minor.  It crops up in Greek mythology.  Whole pomegranate fruits have been found preserved in ancient Egyptian burial chambers.  The fruit was also traded along the Silk Route.  

Pomegranate Molasses is made by reducing fresh pomegranate juice which intensifies the natural fruit flavours.  We use a combination of farmed and wild pomegranates which gives our Molasses its distinctive tangy and fruity flavour.
