From Alexander the Great to Napoleon , white gold has ancient origins.
The Great tasted "Arab salt" for the first time in the East and was sweetly surprised by the unknown substance similar to honey, but it is thanks to Christopher Columbus if today our recipes are so delicious. In fact, it was the Italian explorer who exported cane sugar to Europe.
Sugar: Bonaparte thank you for your sweet insight!
Would you have ever thought that white sugar was discovered centuries after cane sugar? The credit for its diffusion goes to Napoleon Bonaparte who decided to encourage its production.
Loved by the greatest conquerors and explorers, sugar has therefore traveled a long journey to arrive in our kitchens. And to say that today we can benefit from his goodness on a daily basis.
Just think of granulated sugar, excellent for garnishing desserts, brioches and donuts, or of finely ground impalpable sugar used as a silky cloak to cover cakes and donuts, or even of impalpable vanilla sugar, perfect for giving a fragrant vanilla aroma to every preparation.
Today it is not necessary to cross continents for a little sugar, indeed, in our case finding it has never been so easy!
