It’s History. It’s Art. It’s Passion. It’s Science

It’s History

Sugar, like salt, has a long history and has been used as a preservative since ancient times. Used as a sweet sort of pickling brine, sugar was essential for preserving fruits throughout the winter months. Today, sugar in the form of simple and rich syrup is more relevant than ever and is easily one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen.

In the Siloam Syrup house, syrup adds moisture, sweetness, and flavor to baked goods. Siloam Syrups can also be used to create reductions and fruit sauces and add sweetness and flavor to coffee, tea, lemonades, and cocktails. In a pinch, Siloam Syrups can replace corn syrup and when reduced enough, can even serve as an edible glue. 

It’s Art & Passion

The culinary world is a platform for artists to express themselves. The creation of food and drink is an art that encompasses the flavors of the world. It requires passion, precision, rhythm, and most of all, love. The culinary arts are a complex mixture of balancing various tastes and aromas, combined with beautiful presentation.

Siloam Syrup flavors are created by a culinary artist pouring her love for taste, fragrance, and visual beauty into her creations - and this is why, with all the history, science, and experience love remains the most valuable ingredient.

It’s Science

There is a beautiful science behind why flavors play well together.

- 20% of our taste experience is from the chemical compounds found in every food item. These chemical compounds give foods their characteristic flavors, and foods with similar chemical compounds pair well together, even if they don’t taste similar.

- 80 % of our taste experience is from our sense of smell or olfaction. Our sense of smell enables us to distinguish up to 10,000 different fragrant molecules.

Siloam Syrups combine quality taste, naturally occuring fragrance, visual recognition, and appeal to bring you quality syrups.
