Premium Ingredients: The Heart Of Our Flavor

At Béquet Confections, we believe remarkable caramel starts long before the kettle heats up. It begins with sourcing the highest-quality ingredients – each selected not for cost but for character. When your goal is to craft caramel that's as luxurious as it is consistent, every element matters. Our commitment to clean, honest ingredients is what sets us apart and keeps customers coming back for that unforgettable bite.

Core Ingredients That Define Our Caramel

Every batch of Béquet caramel showcases premium, responsibly chosen ingredients. These aren't just better-for-you alternatives – they’re the backbone of our award-winning flavor.

  • Brown Sugar: Rich and full-bodied, this brown sugar brings out complex, toasty undertones that form the base of our caramel. It’s the difference between ordinary sweetness and real depth of flavor.
  • Non-GMO Tapioca Syrup: Unlike corn syrup, which can overpower with a flat sweetness, tapioca syrup delivers a clean, neutral base that allows other ingredients to shine. It helps create that signature smooth texture without any stickiness.
  • Antibiotic-Free Milk: Creamy, fresh, and carefully sourced, our milk contributes to the luscious mouthfeel that sets Béquet® caramel apart. It’s the ingredient that gives each piece its melt-on-the-tongue sensation.
  • Pure Sea Salt: Our Celtic Sea Salt® caramels are a fan favorite for a reason. We use only pure sea salt – never iodized or processed – to balance sweetness and highlight the caramel's natural richness.

Commitment To Clean Label Practices

These ingredients aren’t chosen just for taste – they reflect our promise to craft confections you can trust and enjoy.

  • Commitment To Clean Label Practices: Béquet Confections proudly supports a clean label philosophy. That means you won’t find unnecessary additives, artificial enhancements, or filler ingredients here.
  • No Artificial Colors Or Flavors: Our caramels' golden hue and taste complexity come from real ingredients, not lab-made imitations.
  • Allergen-Friendly Options: Our caramels are free from nuts and gluten and are produced in facilities that take allergen safety seriously. Everyone deserves a chance to indulge.

Indulge in the rich, buttery taste of salted caramel candy made the Béquet® way - award-winning, and unforgettable. With every bite, you’ll taste the balance of pure sea salt and golden caramel perfected over time. Treat yourself or someone special to a flavor that speaks for itself.

Tips For Storing And Serving Our Caramels

Properly storing sea salt caramel candy means every bite is as smooth and luscious as the day it was made. 

How To Store Caramel The Right Way

Storing your salted caramel candy correctly ensures that each piece maintains its signature texture and rich flavor. The ideal storage spot? A cool, dry place like a pantry. Avoid direct sunlight, humidity, and heat. If you’re keeping a larger quantity on hand, transfer the caramels to an airtight container to keep moisture out and preserve freshness over time. To extend freshness, refrigerate or freeze Bequet® caramel in a tightly closed bag.

Bringing Caramel To Serving Temperature

Before serving, let your caramels return to room temperature, especially if stored in a cooler environment. This small step significantly enhances the texture and flavor. As they warm slightly, the caramels soften to their ideal chewiness and release their complete aromatic profile – notes of fresh cream, toasted sugar, and sea salt come forward with clarity.

Serving Suggestions For Maximum Enjoyment

Once your caramels are ready, present them simply. There’s no need for an elaborate presentation – quality speaks for itself. Arrange them with complementary elements like fresh fruit or cheese, or alongside a hot beverage such as coffee or tea. Their richness pairs well with sweet and savory items, making them versatile for everyday treats or elevated hosting moments.

Let The Ingredients Shine

Whether you're sharing with guests or enjoying a quiet moment to yourself, remember that less is more. The hallmark of our premium caramel is its ability to impress without excess. Thoughtful storage and minimalist presentation allow the careful craftsmanship and exceptional ingredients to take center stage, one satisfying bite at a time.
