Wondering if someone can tell me if this is a reduction, and whether it is sweet & extra thick and syrupy... Thank you

I am not sure about the reduction, but it is definitely thick, syrupy and sweet . . . very nice.

To be more specific, it is reduced both by cooking and evaporation. The grape juice is reduced to less than one third its original volume before going into barrels. From there, it condenses even more as moisture slowly evaporates through the wooden barrel (the angel's share).

It is sweet and syrupy. Technically it is a reduction but not like cooking down wine vinegar in a pan. The reduction occurs as the vinegar agesin wooden barrels over time the barrels used are smaller. I have purchased three bottles each came with a batch number. I researched and found this to be the highest grade at a reasonable price. I will definitely buy another. You will not need to cook this down to get the sweet thickness of a reduction.

It is very thick! Nice quality! Usually what I get in the store pours out of the bottle really fast because it is so liquid-y but this is different. It pours slowly and thick. Hope that helps! And it is sweet, yes. Not sure about the 'reduction' part of the question - sorry.

It's supposed to be all natural, that's what they state on product description too : "No artificial flavors or sweeteners". I would double check with them though, just to play safe.

I believe it the same as regular, but it taste wonderful and with 0 calories you feel like you are drinking tea with sugar. It is a little pricey, but it will come down. Hope you enjoy.

I was wondering the same thing... I always make an effort to take in as littl sugar as possible and this product is very sweet tasting. I loved it but i didnt buy it again because it is a mystery as to how much sugar i am consuming.... i even looked online and at the website; found ZERO info.

this is thick like a syrup. You do need to mix with water or I use unsweetened iced tea.

I don't see it listed on the box but I can say after using two boxes of this that it is not at all sweet. It's almost like drinking medicine. Whatever that's worth.

I just read the ingredient list. The last ingredient is sugar.. But it says it only has 7 grams of sugar over all. And considering its a fruit reduction.. That still seems low.

Better products for less are available. This one is too sweet for my taste. I would recommend Reeds brand, which is available in many higher end supermarkets.

No it's not clear I'm afraid.It's a bit thick like syrup but smells heavenly as vanilla should :). Good luck with your baking.

Neither. You aren't supposed to use anything but sugar syrup. Would suggest you make or buy simple syrup. I don't sweeten mine because I use heavy whip cream and it's naturally sweet.

It is much, much sweeter than sugar in terms of volume. It is a slightly different-tasting sweet as well, but I like it very much! Use just a little (I refill smaller dropper bottles with this bottle of stevia) at a time and you'll figure out what amount is best for you. A little goes a long way!

It is very smooth going down but has a "zippiness" to it. I do not use a sweetener nor would i recommend using one with it.

I did. It helped with the sweet. I also bought the unsweetened and mixed with vanilla- my preference above either alone.

There is something "sweet" about this & I wish it was clarified what that "sweet" is. I am not very comforted by the Package which as the vague ingredient :"Natural Flavor" & that can mean pretty much anything, as MSG is a natural ingredient

Hi Evie, yes this brand is fairly thick. I love it! I would compare it to the consistency Herserys Chocolate Syrup. The taste is very smooth and delicious. I hope this answer helps.

It's very low in Carbohydrates (7g w/ two full scoops)I only use 1 scoop, thats why I'm hooked.. ;-) It contains some natural sweetener called RejuvaSweet and haven't been able to find any other products with this. I think it tastes amazing considering the low carb count.

I'm assuming it is a cooked product. It is a thick syrup, similar to honey or molasses. It's completely smooth with no fibrous bits in it, which is why I believe it's a product that has been cooked or boiled down. The only ingredients in the product listed are dates. It also does not need to be refrigerated. It has a very nice flavor, reminiscent of a very mild molasses. It's really delicious. On her website, she states that there is nothing in her Date Syrup other than dates....no water, nothing else. So because there is no water, just dates, one can assume the product is cooked to be able to produce a syrup. If you need further clarification on this, you can email her at info@ilovedatelady.com.
