The name Bacanha means beautiful and good in Brazil, where the cane sugar that's used in these syrups comes from. In the Greek and Roman world, "Bacchanale" was the name of festivals celebrated in honor of the god Bacchus. The name therefore evokes the origin of the main ingredient which is sugar, and the spirit of sharing which is at the heart of the Maison Bacanha brand.

The origin of their syrups goes back to the history of Ancient Greece and Rome. At that time, fresh fruits were dipped in honey to preserve them. During this period, syrup had three main uses: as a drink, with water or to sweeten wine, in cooking (syrup called
defrutum) to add flavour to food and also in medicine to treat with the virtues of certain plants and fruits… In the 17th century, the recipe changed, it is the evaporated and concentrated water from the fruits that will be mixed with a sugar syrup.

Maison Bacanha created the name “Sirop Brut” to highlight the complex and unique blends, composed of simple, natural and high-end ingredients, all honouring the traditional history of syrup.
