Before getting into the subject, it is worth recalling the origins of golden syrup. It was devised by one of the oldest companies in the world today: Lyle’s Golden Syrup, which began producing a thick syrup as part of the sugar refining process, which would eventually spread like wildfire across the London scene.
Its high demand led to it being packaged in a new packaging sealed by a logo created in 1883, a lion among bees, which continues to this day to represent the design of what was then known as ‘Golden Syrup‘.
Presented in an iconic metal tin, it rose to prominence in global gastronomy as an essential of every British house: a thick, amber-coloured syrup with a honey-like consistency, melted with caramel notes.
Golden syrup is also known as ‘light treacle’, a by-product of sugar refining made from sucrose, the common table sugar.
