Almateira Organic Agave Syrup RAW DARK uses 100% Blue Agave from the agave genus of the Liliaceae family, cultivated in the tequila village of Mexico.

It is an elegant, low-GI sweetener with a refined sweetness.

Agave syrup is a natural sweetener made from plants called Blue Agave, belonging to the Liliaceae family.

Almateira's agave syrup is made from the same variety of Blue Agave used as the raw material for high-quality tequila.

It is Blue Agave syrup processed at temperatures below 48°C.

Because of the low heating temperature, it is recommended for those seeking a more natural syrup.

It has a natural "richness" and deep sweetness, with a clean aftertaste.

It is a natural sweetener favored in the USA and EU, aligned with a Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) approach (natural, healthy, environmentally friendly).

Features:
- Low-GI natural sweetener with a GI value around 30
- Milder sweetness compared to Gold
- Deep color with a flavor and richness similar to brown sugar
- Raw food processed at low temperatures (below 48°C)
- Recommended for those seeking a more natural syrup due to the low heating temperature
- Easily dissolves in cold drinks and is heat-resistant
- Natural sweetness with a refreshing aftertaste
- Suitable as a sweetener for beverages, desserts, and cooking
- Sweetness is approximately 1.3 times that of sugar, allowing for reduced usage and about 25% fewer calories

◆ Differences between "GOLD" and "RAWDARK"

Because Gold and Raw Dark are processed with different heating times and temperatures, the ratio of sugars such as fructose and glucose differs slightly from that of Blue Agave syrup.

The GI value of Agave Syrup Gold is 27, characterized by a firm sweetness.

Agave Syrup Raw Dark is processed at low temperatures below 48°C. Its GI value is around 30, based on the ratio of fructose to dietary fiber, with a flavor and richness similar to brown sugar. Its sweetness is milder than Gold but still suitable for cooking.

◆ Usage Instructions

Use as a sweetener for drinks, desserts, and dishes where you want to add richness. Also suitable for ice cream, pancakes, waffles, etc. Can be used similarly to maple syrup.

*Note: Agave syrup's main component is fructose. Please be cautious of excessive carbohydrate intake.

＜Almateira＞

When I first tasted agave syrup in 2004, its rich flavor was unlike honey or maple syrup. It was delicious, gentle on the body, and organic—an almost dream-like sweetener! As someone who loves to eat, I wanted many people to enjoy it and to deliver it to those who need it.

To expand the use of agave syrup, which was still unknown in Japan, I visited Mexico to deeply understand the farms, factories, and the thoughts of the workers involved.

Since then, I have visited Mexico every year to gather the latest information and current conditions.

I have met passionate, proud people who love their company because it is a family business, and at a chocolate factory, I encountered a passionate French owner with a craftsman's spirit.

While product quality is important, I believe that ultimately, "passion" and "people" create inspiration.

I hope that the air, water, sea, and land remain vibrant. I believe that all living creatures on Earth, including humans, are affected by the planet.

I believe that spreading organic foods is one way to revitalize the Earth, and I want to continue selling foods I find delicious.

My future goal is to promote the idea that "purchasing organic products is a way to contribute to the Earth" and to incorporate this mindset into my life.

Since delicious foods are more likely to be purchased again, taste is essential.

In this era of 100-year lifespans and increasing health awareness, I am committed to creating products that are truly authentic.

**Mission 1:** To ensure that the Earth where children live remains "beautiful and peaceful forever."

**Mission 2:** To connect life through food and achieve both health and beauty.

I will continue to work toward contributing to your health and beauty.
