Something you may not know about our SHUGAS is that we come from a long standing company that is dedicated to the production and marketing of specialty natural liquid sweeteners in the Dominican Republic. We take pride in all of the great quality products our parent company, Caribbean Liquid Sugar, manufactures.

Recently we got to join the big team during the 2014 PMA Fresh Summit, where many other Dominican brands were represented. This event was huge… over 22,000 attendees!

As a first time exhibitor, Caribbean Liquid Sugar got to present our stevia farm project, Rostevia Agroindustrial. Record attendance at the 2014 Produce Marketing Association Conference created an exciting venue to share our work in the Dominican Republic, stated our Business Development Manager Andrew Colehower. He also said that “Having the opportunity to showcase the quality and growth of our certified organic Stevia farm in the Caribbean was a great experience… the timing was perfect, as some of the world’s biggest and most trusted food brands are formulating with stevia”.

We are so proud about the Rostevia Agroindustrial farm program as it supports the local economy and creates jobs with a farmer co-op model. 2015 promises to be a pivotal year for the project, as acreage for the farmers will scale up from 25 hectares to 100+ hectares, with both powder and leaf forms of organic stevia available. This speaks volumes about our core as a company.

We loved attending, meeting so many people, getting wonderful feedback and presenting our sweeteners to the world. That’s why we wanted to share a few pics with you.

During the upcoming holiday season we have multiple of events going on. As our shugas are sold in various countries it will be good for you to stay up to date with our events page and see what’s coming up hopefully in a store near you. If you can’t find us in your local store, you can always get us online, here and here, or contact us and let us know. We will try our best to be placed close to you.

Our latest event was a cooking demo in the Dominican Republic where we teamed up with Bravo supermarket and DeliciasFit a business that promotes delicious recipes that allow you to stay fit, healthy and live a balanced sweet live, like we always preach. Below are pictures from the demo where Haydee, our resident pastry chef showed how easily these Carrot Cake Cups can be made.

With that, I wanted to introduce Haydee. Take a look at her in action below. She is our sweet shuga recipe developer and always finds new ideas and applications for you to use our liquid sweeteners. We love having a chef in house as we get to try all her sweet creations. Is there a recipe you would like her to work on? Let us know on a comment below!

While you think which recipe to request, make sure you make this one at home. It is a fun and creative way of enjoying carrot cake.
