When French-born jockey Remi Tremsal moved to Australia in 2003 to further his career, little did he know a back injury eight years later would lead to the realisation of a second dream- creating award-winning artisanal caramel business, Caramelicious.
Turning to his passion of cooking during recovery, Remi’s indulgence has become today a burgeoning international business.
With a commitment to producing caramel through the traditional French method in copper bowls and using a family recipe passed down three generations, Remi and wife Breena create soft, buttery rich gourmet caramel, resulting in two Gold Medals in the recent Australian Food Awards.
“Winning a medal is an acknowledgement of our hard work at producing quality,” says Remi, “We enter our products every year for this competition. It is a chance to celebrate the efforts of our team- this will boost our team enthusiasm!”
Awarded the golds for their Salted Caramel and Vanilla Caramel spreads in 2016, the four-year-old business also celebrated medal wins in 2014 and 2015.
With no preservatives, colourings or additives, Caramelicious’ hand-made caramels are made in small batches, recreating the spirit of traditional salted caramel, with their offering also boasting Vanilla, Coffee, Cocoa and Cocoa Hazelnut flavours.
Already popular with Australian customers, and meeting new international audiences through markets and food festivals in New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Dubai and Bahrain, the Caramelicious team says they are looking to expand their range to offer greater variety and tailor products to meet the specific demands of professional chefs and bakers.
