Warm and complex, our Golden Crystal Sugar comes from the Caribbean island of Barbados. Its tropical location provides the perfect amount of sunlight for growing sugarcane, and the coral-rich soils filter rainwater to produce exceptionally flavorful, coarse sugar crystals.
Use as turbinado or raw sugar in beverages and baking, as a crunchy sanding sugar topping on cookies and other sweets or a rimming sugar for cocktail glasses. Barbados was the first Caribbean island to produce sugar, and this sugar represents the last remaining Caribbean coral-island sugar in production. This sugar serves as a memorial to the fraught history of sugar in Barbados and the people who created this uniquely delicious ingredient. We hope that you'll find inspiration in the role this sugar has played in the making of our modern world.

Sourcing
Our Golden Crystal Turbinado sugar is made from cane grown in Barbados, the last remaining Caribbean coral island that still produces sugar.
The history of sugar production here is a dark and painful one, but our partner sugar makers are working to keep the tradition of cane sugar production alive in a way that supports the local economy and is a far cry from its troubled past.
When we visited Barbados in 2023, we were fascinated to learn about how the soil there affects the sugar's flavor. As it turns out, coral limestone in the soil filters rainwater, creating an ideal environment to grow sugarcane. The result is a beautifully clear, sweet turbinado sugar with a flavor not found anywhere else. It's a pure taste of the Caribbean.
