Candied ginger topping syrup

Ginger occupies a special place in the Lilamand range. Artisanally candied in our workshops, it features in our Mini Calissons with Candied Ginger and our Calisson Cream “Ginger” — two creations that reflect our house’s affinity with this pronouncedly flavoured root. This topping syrup is the third expression of this ingredient, capturing all the warmth of candied ginger in a golden, aromatic drizzle.

Its flavour is clear and immediately recognisable. The lively heat of ginger is softened and rounded by the candying process, leaving a lingering spiced finish that defines its character. The sugar envelops without concealing; the ginger’s character remains intact yet becomes more indulgent, approachable, and almost addictive. This is a syrup with a strong personality, shared generously.

Like all our creations, it is the result of confectionery expertise passed down through five generations in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Maison Lilamand applies the same exacting standards to ginger as to its traditional candied fruits, and this deep understanding of the interaction between sugar and the raw ingredient is evident in the precise aroma and balance of sweetness and spice.

More original than classic fruit syrups, this candied ginger topping opens up a wide range of possibilities. Drizzled over crêpes, pancakes or waffles, it adds an unexpected spicy touch. It enhances vanilla ice cream or pear sorbet, flavours hot chocolate or winter tea, and lends itself to bold sweet–savoury pairings. Try adding a few drops to a prawn marinade or glazed salmon, or a dash to the cooking juices of roast poultry.
