Azil Organic Pomegranate Molasses

Introduction to Pomegranate Molasses

Iran’s organic pomegranate molasses is crafted from sun-ripened pomegranates grown in the volcanic soils of Saveh and Yazd. This traditional Persian condiment undergoes a 48-hour slow-reduction process, concentrating both flavor and nutrients. Our molasses contains 40% more antioxidants than fresh juice, with a perfect balance of sweetness (from natural fruit sugars) and tartness (from malic acid).
