Different Types of Molasses

[SBB]

I do not know about treacle.

Thats a shame cause i was going to ask about Treacle, Do you know if its still made in Australian Mills?? I haven't really looked but don't remember seeing it on supermarket shelves in ages.

I have been through two of the four refineries and they did not make treacle, can not help with this sorry

From what I have read, Treacle is a word that the english gave Molasses. Probably because it sounded fancier.

no don't think so I got treacle here and it don't taste, smell, or look like molasses :-B

Its not molasses, from what Ive heard its a product taken somewhere between molasses and golden syrup, or to put it in distilling terms,its the cut between molasses and golden syrup.

Google search;
Treacle is any uncrystallized syrup made during the refining of sugar. Treacle is used both in cooking as a sweetener and as a condiment.
The most common forms of treacle are the pale syrup known as golden syrup and the darker syrup usually referred to as dark or black treacle. Dark treacle has a distinctively strong, slightly bitter flavor, and a richer color than golden syrup, yet not as dark as molasses. Golden syrup is the main sweetener in treacle tart.

There you go and Oxford Dictionary says `England know Molasses as Treacle and America know Treacle as Molasses`.
Depending on who you talk to, determines the meaning of each and every subject being spoken about.

Apparently there are different strengths (if you like) of Treacle. By the sounds of it, it depends on how far down the production line it has been processed before it gets to Golden Syrup I`m guessing. :think:

I looked on a supermarket shelf today and yes they did have CSR Treacle, right next to the CSR golden syrup.
But saying golden syrup is a form of Treacle is a bit like saying Bacardi is a bit like Mcstill Rum.............maybe its related ...........but very very faintly.

TREACLE is a viscous dark brown to black liquid that has a stronger flavour and aroma than golden syrup. It is produced from a partially hydrolysed sugar syrup. Treacle's colour and flavour make it suitable for baking applications and for the production of certain confectionery items.

Bit like the old saying `Same dog, different leg`.

I made a Rum with Treacle and Raw Sugar for some thing different to the norm. I`ll let you know what it`s like when aged for a while.
