Bacanha: Natural Syrups from France
How a French brand turned a mass-market product into a premium gastronomic delight.
Most coffee lovers avoid syrups of any kind—whether for health reasons or because they associate them with mass-produced products of questionable taste and quality. However, those who hold this view certainly haven't tried natural syrups, like those from the Parisian company Bacanha!
What do we mean by the term "Natural Syrup"?
The term "Natural Syrup" (*Sirop Brut*) essentially redefines the concept of syrup, distinguishing it from standardized, mass-produced products. It is a high-quality, highly concentrated syrup crafted exclusively from natural ingredients—such as extracts, juices, and herbal essential oils—without colorings or artificial preservatives, and with minimal heat processing.
Thanks to the purity and intensity of its raw materials, it delivers authentic flavor and aromatic richness, allowing for countless combinations in beverages, cocktails, and culinary creations—all while requiring only a minimal amount.
Natural Syrup is a premium, small-batch product aimed at both private consumers and discerning HoReCa professionals who pay meticulous attention to every detail in their kitchens or bars.
Bacanha: Crafting Natural Syrups for 13 Years
Bacanha is a family-run business based in Paris since 2013. From the very beginning, its goal has been to restore the reputation and prestige of French syrup, transforming it from a mundane, mass-produced item into a premium gastronomic delight. At its workshop just a few kilometers outside the City of Light, every bottle is crafted using organic cane sugar sourced from Brazil, combined with a wide array of exquisite ingredients. Essential oils are procured from Grasse, France—a region with a long-standing heritage in perfumery—while artificial colorings and preservatives are never used. The result is a syrup rich in aroma and flavor, unlike anything you have ever tasted. The complete Bacanha experience is rounded off by stylish glass bottles reminiscent of 19th-century vintage apothecary jars—the kind that once held centuries-old recipes and traditions. Never before has a product's packaging so perfectly reflected its contents!
What makes Bacanha stand out?
One might say that what makes Bacanha stand out is that first sip or bite of a drink or dessert made with one of its syrups; however, the French brand's success and established reputation are primarily due to four factors.
Careful selection of raw materials: The base of all Bacanha syrups is organic Brazilian sugarcane pulp, and only natural ingredients—such as water, fruit pulps, spices, essential oils, and extracts—are used, always with a commitment to quality.
Careful processing: Minimal heat treatment is used in the production of the syrups, and no colorings or preservatives are added. This results in a product that is not only more natural and healthier but also boasts a more intense flavor and aroma, making it incomparably more enjoyable.
Wide variety of flavors and aromas: Catering to a discerning audience with sophisticated tastes, Bacanha produces syrups in a vast array of flavors and aromas. Alongside classic, crowd-pleasing flavors (such as vanilla or hazelnut, which beautifully enhance cappuccinos and lattes), you will find more sophisticated notes—like yuzu or elderflower—that can prove to be a secret weapon for any discerning bartender or pastry chef looking to offer something truly special.
Sophisticated Aesthetics: Bacanha’s mission goes beyond producing the finest natural syrup on the market. Its products come in elegantly designed glass bottles that reflect the quality of their contents, instantly transforming any kitchen into a state-of-the-art bar or a master chef’s workshop.
Whenever you crave a coffee that breaks the mold, an inventive dessert, or an exotic cocktail, the answer lies within an elegant Bacanha bottle!
