This story began many years ago, when the family of Irena and Vašek Kalkuš began making liquid caramel to flavor various their own drinks and meals. It had a specific taste that refreshed cold and hot alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, livened up fruit and vegetable salads, sweetened porridge and sundaes, and even added a special flavor to some sauces and meats. Their friends were so dazzled that they decided to share it with the world. They gradually expanded their handmade liquid caramel production to include “Český Krumlov Caramel from Vašek” with different flavor variations including, for example, coffee caramel, cocoa caramel with vanilla, various herbal caramels, salty chilli caramel with rosemary, and even “Evin mls”, a specially dried fruit in caramel...
