How We Make Our Caramel

Fresh Goat's Milk

Every jar of caramel begins with fresh goat’s milk from select small dairies in Vermont. Goats are known for producing milk that is naturally rich, slightly tangy, and perfect for transforming into something sweet. And we work with dairies that produce the sweet, mild milk that makes the very best caramel.

Slow Simmer

We bring the milk into our kitchen where we combine it with pure cane sugar and other simple ingredients like vanilla beans or bourbon. We keep our recipes minimal because the true star is the milk itself. By focusing on a handful of wholesome ingredients, the flavors remain clean and authentic.

The Perfect Texture

We coax the milk over a low flame, stirring with patience (and maybe a touch of obsession). Hours go by as the kitchen fills with the scent of toasted sugar and warm cream. Slowly, slowy - simple milk and sugar is transformed into something luscious, golden, and irresistible.

As bubbles rise and the color deepens, we know we’re getting close. Stir, skim, stir - no shortcuts allowed. Our caramel thickens into that dreamy, spoon-coating consistency that is hard to resist. It’s glossy, rich, and smooth - like velvet melted into sugar. This is when the real swooning starts.

Jarred One at a Time

When the caramel has reached perfection, it is poured into jars, sealed, and labeled with care. Each batch reflects the time and attention that went into its making, from the goats who provided the milk to the people who guided it through the process. By the time it reaches your spoon, every jar carries the story of Vermont craftsmanship and a commitment to quality. One taste, and you’ll understand why we never rush the process.
