500g of Organic Golden Caster sugar, packed in our plant-based cellulose, compostable packaging.

Golden caster sugar is a type of granulated sugar that is popular in British and European baking. It is often used for its fine texture and golden colour. The "caster" in its name refers to the fact that the sugar crystals are finer than regular granulated sugar, making it ideal for recipes where a smoother texture is desired.

Flavour & texture

Light caramel and honey notes. Fine, free-flowing crystals that dissolve rapidly, making it ideal for baking and cold mixtures.

Common culinary uses

• Baking – cakes, biscuits, sponges, meringues
• Desserts – custards, creams, mousses
• Cold mixes – whipped cream, fruit purées
• Sauces & syrups – smooth texture without graininess
• Sweetening fruit – maceration and compotes

Golden caster is often chosen where smoothness and subtle flavour are both important.

Using golden caster sugar

• Creaming with butter – aerates easily for light cakes
• Cold applications – dissolves faster than granulated sugar
• Straight swap – use 1:1 instead of white caster
• Colour awareness – adds a faint golden tint

Tip: Ideal when you want more flavour than white sugar but less intensity than brown sugars.
