There are many different types and styles of caramel and just as many visions of what is the “best” caramel.
Some applications require a soft, smooth and flowy caramel, while others need a flavorful caramel with a firm texture. For others, being the most economical is the ‘best’ caramel. Having a caramel that works with your equipment/processes and meets or exceeds your customers’ expectation is the ‘best’ caramel.
