Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops How we score

Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.

  1. 1 Familiar twist: easy to find, unusual flavour
  2. 2 Specialty: good grocers and online
  3. 3 Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops
  4. 4 Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists
  5. 5 Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind

What it tastes like

Dark and thick, between molasses and caramel, with a slightly smoky, mineral finish.

Why it’s rare

An open-kettle Louisiana cane syrup made by the same family company since 1910, rarely stocked outside the Gulf South.
