Etymology

The word 'caramel' comes from the Late Latin word 'canna melis', which means 'sugar cane'. This evolved into the Old Spanish word 'caramelo', referring to sugar or a sweet preparation. Caramel has been a part of culinary traditions for centuries, especially in desserts and confections. Its sweet, rich flavor and appealing texture make it a popular addition to a wide variety of dishes. Over time, the production of caramel has evolved, with modern techniques allowing for various types of caramel to be created, such as soft caramel, hard caramel, and caramel sauces. Today, caramel is not only enjoyed in bars and candies but also in sauces, ice creams, and gourmet dishes around the world.
