White Rock Sugar

White rock sugar consists of large crystals of pure sugar formed by the slow crystallisation of a supersaturated sugar solution. Its large, translucent crystals make it a popular decoration for confectionery, cakes and Christmas baked goods. It is also used to sweeten hot drinks, particularly teas and coffees, where it dissolves slowly and delivers a pleasantly clean sweetness. In patisserie it serves as an ornament for pastries, gingerbread or chocolate confections. Compared to regular sugar it has a firmer structure and dissolves more slowly. The production of rock sugar is a traditional confectionery technique known for centuries.
