So, what is melaço?

Melaço is a thick, dark syrup that is made from boiling sugar cane juice. This ingredient has a distinctive sweet and slightly smoky flavor, with notes of caramel and molasses. It is commonly used in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine to add depth and complexity to dishes, such as marinades, glazes, and desserts. Melaço is also a popular natural sweetener and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Its intense flavor makes it a great substitute for refined sugar in baked goods or as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
