Salted butter caramel, a story of sugar, butter, and salt

Sugar, cream, and salt

Traditionally, salted butter caramelrelies on the combination of sugar, butter, and salt, to which cream may be added depending on the recipe.

As compositions can vary, this general definition does not precisely describe La Mère Poulard's recipes. To know the ingredients of our soft caramels and our caramel spread, refer to each product page.

Salt, an ancient history in the West

The place of salted butterin Western France has an ancient history. As early as 1532, a province in the West benefited from an exemption from the gabelle (salt tax) on salt, contributing to the continuation of its use in butter.

A history that largely predates that of the candy called Salted Butter Caramel, created in 1977.

Caramel in Normandy since the 1930s

The production of caramelalso has an ancient history in Normandy. Hard caramels were documented there as early as 1932, followed by other productions in the late 1930s.

This is not the origin of the Salted Butter Caramel candy, which came later, but these landmarks testify to a long-established caramel production in Normandy.
