Description
Illovo Golden Syrup is a thick, amber-coloured syrup made from refined sugar cane, offering a smooth sweetness with light caramel notes. Produced by Illovo, one of Africa?s largest sugar producers based in South Africa, it has long been a familiar pantry staple in local baking and cooking.
Also known as golden syrup, light treacle, or invert sugar syrup, it is widely used in cakes, biscuits, flapjacks, and puddings where it adds moisture, colour, and a deep sweetness. It is a classic ingredient in traditional desserts such as malva pudding, sticky toffee pudding, and chewy oat bakes, and can replace part of the sugar in recipes for a richer flavour.
Beyond baking, golden syrup is often drizzled over pancakes, waffles, French toast, porridge, yoghurt, and fruit, or used as a sweet glaze in cooking and confectionery. Its smooth texture and rich taste make it a versatile sweetener for both bakery recipes and everyday kitchen use
