Vergeoise

Vergeoise or sucre vergeoise is a variety of brown sugar obtained from sugar beets. Available in light (blonde) and dark or brown (brune) versions, the sugar is distinguished by a soft consistency, a slightly moist texture, and a pleasant aroma and flavor reminiscent of burnt caramel.

Typical of northern France and Belgium, this soft brown sugar is essential in the preparation of a wide range of traditional desserts and pastries such as sugar pies, waffles, tarts, and the popular spiced cookies called speculaas.
