Our expertise in caramels
Our caramels, fillings, toppings and sauces... will take you to a world of indulgence
Metarom has invested in developing its expertise in caramels since 1953 and continues to promote this authentic, timeless flavor to the food industry.
It is able to meet the challenges posed by this product, both in terms of taste (multiplicity of caramel flavors) and the advanced techniques required (viscosity, texture).
Metarom is a leading European player in the manufacture of specialty caramels. The range of caramels is further extended through the addition of other ingredients such as fruit extracts, vegetable fats and dairy products. Behind the term caramel thus lie a multitude of gustatory possibilities, from the most traditional to the most surprising.
Tailor-made caramels and fillings
Metarom’s caramel and fillings workshop is equipped to handle a wide range of products, from flavoring caramels to bakestable fillings, sauces and toppings.
Metarom’s Caramel teams bring their skills and expertise to the table to offer caramels in a wide range of flavors and nuances: salted butter caramel, milk caramel, cream caramel, vanilla caramel, coffee caramel, rum caramel, with spicy, honeyed or fruity notes… Caramels are mainly used in the formulation of dairy products, chocolates, cookies and confectionery (as toppings, marbling, mixes, underlays or fillings).
Cara'Sens, Metarom's
caramel brand
Under its Cara’sens brand, Metarom is developing a range of specialty caramels for filling and topping, Cara’Fill, and a range dedicated to sauces and flavoring caramels, Cara’Taste.
Our Cara’Fill range
Formulated with various ingredients such as vegetable or animal fats (butter, milk, cream, glucose syrup, cane sugar, flavors, etc.), the Cara’Fill caramels are richer and more sophisticated. Metarom's expertise lies in its ability to meet demands for ultra gourmet flavors, while satisfying production constraints (rheological control, baking stability, use in production lines, etc.) and Clean Label requirements (organic, palm oil-free, gluten-free compatible, vegetarian, kosher, halal, etc.).
Other flavors in this range include lemon curd, irish cream, banoffee, toffee, and nougat.
Metarom develops bakestable fillings for very high temperature baking, particularly suited to the needs of the cookie, viennoiserie, patisserie and confectionery industries, including chocolate confectionery.
Metarom develops limitless solutions for caramel fillings and other warm, fruity notes for depositing, injection, and extrusion... before or after baking.
Our dedicated R&D and ongoing investment in production facilities enable us to create and innovate to provide endless opportunities for gourmet enjoyment. Rheological control, baking stability, naturalness and origins are the foundations on which our gourmet offerings are built.

Our Cara’Taste range
The Cara'Taste range includes sauces and flavored caramels for dairy products, cookies, beverages and confectionery. These products are considered ingredients, and their addition to a product enables it to be labeled "caramelized".
A flavoring caramel can be in liquid or solid form. Pale to dark in color, it is obtained by the controlled action of heat on edible sugars. It is mainly used for flavoring foodstuffs.
Flavoring caramels have technical or gustatory properties that will meet all your needs. From classic sauces and toppings to the extraordinary, our wide range is backed up by ongoing bespoke developments.
