Hibiscus Rose Syrup

Whey Syrup???

Yes whey!

During the production of cheese, milk is separated into curds and whey. Whey contains water, protein, lactose, minerals, and a small amount of protein and fat. Whey and is largely discarded by the dairy industry.

Luckily, Portland Creamery discovered that this complex mixture of salts, lactic acid sugars, protein, and minerals is the perfect base for a syrup. When cooked with cane sugar, the proteins in the whey undergo the Maillard reaction, releasing complex flavors and aromas and browning in color. Meanwhile, the sugar is caramelizing. A couple of natural flavor ingredients are added in the kettle.

Portland Creamery Syrup is complex and can be paired with many cheeses and beverages, not to mention combined as an ingredient.

Ingredients:
