What matters when shipping grape and carob molasses

Grape molasses is very heavy for its size, so work out the gross weight with the jar before ordering, and group it with other heavy goods in land shipping.

Liquid and thick

Liquid pekmez is mixed with tahini at breakfast, while thick or whipped pekmez is spread on bread. Carob molasses is less sweet and darker, and sturdy plastic bottles are lighter and less likely to break than glass.

Grape molasses and added sugar

Pure grape molasses is only concentrated grape juice, while some products add sugar or syrup. Read the label and compare density: good molasses is dark and heavy and does not run quickly, while a thin one is usually diluted.

Ways to use it

Molasses is eaten with tahini at breakfast, used in dressings and sweets, and diluted with water as a drink. Choose a jar size that suits how fast you use it, because an opened jar crystallises after some months.

Weight and stickiness

Molasses is very dense and a half-litre jar can weigh a kilo, so shipping cost is heavy. Ask for plastic or glass with a sealed cap and a leak-proof bag, because sticky molasses spoils the whole parcel.
