I ordered some nectar candy a couple months ago because I was curious, and honestly was surprised by the difference in opinion on what the flavor was. My dad said it reminded him of butterscotch, my sister said it reminded her of honey, and the first impression I got was of cream soda. So if you like any of those types of flavors, go for it. It'll probably be right up your alley.
Jersy Tofstad clearly you don’t have or know someone with sensitive stomachs (ie celiac or some sort of autoimmune disorder that affects your digestive tract ) haha you’d know why it’s ok to laugh at silly poop jokes such as this one if it were your normal.
Nectar tastes like if honey was made out of fruit when you first taste it and then when you suck on it the taste becomes like you took the honey-fruit and made it into a cake.
Type one diabetic here. Born unable to eat sugar heavily. I would say that is the worst part of sugar free sweeteners! You made a good point OZ! A VERY good point, sadly... >.>
The color of this version of nectar reminds me of the nectar syrup used in the old soda fountains of New Orleans. It's vivid pink, and tastes of almond and vanilla. Yum!
Actually it was in Cincinnati about 40 years before it was in New orleans. The flavor profile seems to have come from montreal. So yes I did fully research it. K&B was founded in 1905. They had it in Cincinnati since at least the 18thr s
In 1866, Isaac Lyons, a native of South Carolina, moved to New Orleans and went into the wholesale drug business. He began selling his nectar syrup to K & B Drugstores in the 1880s, who made it into nectar sodas, nectar cream sodas, and nectar ice cream sodas at their fountains'
@@MorgusVR I'm interested in your source. It came to Cincinnati from Montreal where the candy schools were at the time. I'm still interested in your source.
They've been making sugar glass bottles since olden days. Unfortunately people watching a movie bar fight don't always realize the "glass" is fake, and probably think you can smash a bottle over someone's head and they'll be fine.
As long as the artificial sugar cane naturally from a plant aspartame is a chemical and is cancer if you drink diet coke your it doing yourself any favours by drinking this and thinking it's healthy
Yes, and just like the romans the usa food industry do know how to f up your health. Aspartate, sucralose, manitol, maltodextrin, isomalt are all very bad artificial sugars that should never be consumed by normal humans. Use allulose, stevia, monkfruit, or erythriol. Not all the toxic artificial sugars.
I love your videos, because not only do you show us entertaining footage of how you make your candy but you also give us a miniature history lesson which always keeps me entertained. Keep up the great work!
Voted for the BEST sugary displays of confection! My husband and I plan to come visit from Louisiana very soon. We always sit down and watch your videos together when they come out.
Thank you for the education on the difference between sugar and isomalt. I know a couple of diebetics that have enormous sweet tooths that I love and this will help in gift giving and such. Beautiful work. Masters at your craft.
Very entertaining and informative videos as always. So many people forget candy was originally made by hand in small batches (and still is thanks to folks like you) and not mixed, dispensed, pulled and wrapped by automated machines in a huge factory
Gave this video a thumbs up because its 1.) Right to the point; 2.) Jam-packed with info while at the same time, being concise; 3.) The clips of the candy being made are compelling; 4.) The music and narration are on point; 5.) No unnecessary dialogue, personal opinions / quirks, or annoying intro / outros. I was looking for a video on making candy without sugar, but with all the trash on TH-cam, I have to commend this video, not just for its content, but its production.
From one small, niche business to another, you got my votes! I never knew about the compounds of artificial sweeteners, and I’m fascinated. Loved the video!
I just found this video, it's fun and very informative. I wanted to thank you because I'm from Cincy and I'm so glad that you kept the memory of our old candy makers going by buying their equipment and keeping the nectar flowing !
I love this channel, all your videos are so very good and such a pleasure to watch, a treat to all senses (except taste, but I'm sure that one is covered by tasting your candy!).
Is Isomalt easier or harder to work with? Again, thank you for the entertaining and informative videos, will consider visiting you if I ever travel near your area (I'm Brazilian)
isomalt isn't as sticky as sugar (which mostly comes from humidity or is added during some processes) which means it is harder to use for image candy and it is harder to cool without causing it to break, meaning it requires almost constant stirring in order to not cool down into a chunk with almost liquid core. It is very good for drops as the shattering effect and non-stickyness actually makes it easier for that job but hard to work with for image candies: source, I worked with both substances in a summer job back when I was a kid, although the 'image candy' we did was nowhere as elaborate as the ones done in here.
At least for drops I found it easier to work with then sugar. And I've never made image candy with it just because of the amount of waste but I do make candy canes with it every year and I find them no more difficult to work with. I want your third different types of ice a malt and I just found a good one?
@@LoftyPursuits Did you ever consider making Isomaltulose candy? It's also very similar to succrose, bit they use yeast to turn one of the molecules around, so that you don't get a sugar rush because your intestine doesn't pull it into the bloodstream as quickly. It's half as sweet, but still has the same energy/metabolism after it's split into fructose and glucose. Also it doesn't harm teeth, because those bacteria can't digest it. So candy you don't have to brush your teeth after ;)
i literally get so happy and feel warm when watching this. ur voice is so soft and all the videos are about candy! how much better can this get! thankyou so much for making these :)
This is a game changer. Ive only been able to make my sugar free hard candies with sugar, but now I know how to make sugar free hard candies without sugar! Thanks!
Well at least you use the laxative sugar replacement, not the one that makes your eyesight blurry. You really shouldn't undersell the laxative effect tho. It can get pretty bad for some people.
@@nielsf Aspartame(E951.), and probably some others too. They are in some chewing gums. Cyclamates also can affect your vision, but (at least for me) its nowhere near as bad, unless exposed to bright lights. I generally avoid any artificial sweeteners because the long term exposure to them is not really that well documented (and I generally tend not to trust some of the studies referenced), and I don't want any liver damage, or led poisoning alternatives (led used to pe a popular sweetener, before they discovered it was poison). I mean sure, in small doses they are probably fine, but i am bad at keeping track of how much stuff I eat, especially when combined with serving sizes being like half a packet and multiple foods use same sweetener or something.
@@mapu1 If you can't spell lead correctly, I hardly think that you'd be able to comprehend the results of a study and be able to determine if they'd be valid or not. It's widely understood that in reasonable doses, artificial sweeteners are perfectly fine for most people. Excluding those with phenketonuria and the like.
Anon ymus It is quite misleading to say that Aspartame causes blurry vision just because it happens to you. Negative reactions to Aspartame have been reported, but as the vast majority of people seem to have no issue with it, it is rightly considered safe. Also, what does Lead have to do with modern artificial sweeteners? Lead (II) acetate hasn't been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years, and in that time we have learned how to test chemicals for toxicity. I also find it funny how much people go on about "the dangers of artificial sweeteners", and instead consuming sugar, which SCIENCE has shown is isn't exactly benign in large amounts.
Voted! Thanks for making this video. My grandfather was a diabetic and I remember the special bags of sugar free hard candies he used to eat as a treat. I've often wondered how those were made. The color and look of sugar free hard candies is not the same as sugar candies, the color somehow doesn't look as dense, perhaps isomalt allows more light through? I'd love to see more videos of you cooking with isomalt, especially image candy, although that drop was incredibly satisfying.
I purchased some nectar drops last winter. I believe that the flavor is vanilla and almond extract, with a slight cinnamon note. It is delicious and I will be getting more, when we run out. We have been very careful to not eat it all too quickly! Thank you for your videos
You accidentally gave away part of the secret you didn’t want to give away in the rose candy video lol. I’m willing to bet the clear part was isomalt, you even said in that video that the rose candy would cost more and come to find that the same is true here.
Actually no. And we solved the issue with the rose production issues. It costs the same now. With the roae, originally we got about 15 lbs of good candy from a 25 lb batch
So excited to see you are using my home town equipment! I love to learn about Cincinnati history being used in other places. Thanks for the history & candy making lesson!
I remember when I used Isomalt in Culinary School for a candy sculpture. My chefs said it was one of the most beautiful they had seen by a student my age. This was explained just as I was taught, very nice job :)
After seeing this video I was intrigued and ordered some of these candies to try. They are really good! To me, they taste like vanilla cake with a hint of bubble gum.
It’s nice to know that a piece of my hometowns in your shop. I actually didn’t know about malanes being born in 2001 but I asked my parents and they loved going there
We are so excited, we are vacationing on the panhandle next week and your store is one place we all want to visit! Hoping you will have Old Glory in stock so I don't regret not ordering it!
i think its really cool that places like this can still exist when so many people/companies are just out to make buck instead of making a cool place dedicated to what they do
I just found this channel yesterday.. I ordered 2 bags last night of madness and acid sours..I didnt see these .. I will taste these and black currant on my next order.. love the videos
I think I read an old book on why they're called "drops". Before the molds, old candies were poured over cold surfaces to form drops. In " sugaring off parties" where families and neighbors made their sugar together (the sap is harvested I think when it snows), they boil the sap and once the syrup starts forming crystals, people would grab bowls of fresh snow and ladles of the syrup poured on it. Sometimes the syrup melts through the snow, or forms a nice drop. They then consumed it as candy. Afterwards, the syrup then reaches a phase where its ready for the sugar molds. I believe it was done in the 1800s. Sugaring off is still done areas with lots of snow. But I wouldn't recommend it with fallen snow because of air pollution. They do sugaring off parties with crushed ice.
I love salty foods more than sweet, but there is something so mesmerizing about watching you guys make candy. And the information given is also interesting. Keep making these awesome videos.
I remember as a kid going to the health food store and one time we saw and bought sugar free candy. It was the 80s and probably the only type they had in the day. I have no idea what it was made from but i really loved the flavor. I wish I could find something similar to that. Maybe this is like that? I also always wondered how they made sugar free hard candy.
I went to check the description to find the link you talked a bout and saw that you can buy your candy I didn’t know but I absolutely will buy some when I get some more money because it seems amazing
interesting. always wondered this. my mom is a type 1 diabetic so we only have sugar free candy in the house. also thank you for explaining why sugar free candy costs more. this entire time i thought it was because they know diabetics will still buy it and now you've explained it costs more to buy so the end product is more expensive.
Absolutely LOVE your videos, they help me to relax and fall asleep (in a good way lol)!! It's easy to see the passion you have, for your craft!!! I voted for you, in all 3 categories!!! Best of luck and keep up the amazing work!!!
i tried to put these videos on so i can listen to them while i work, but it's just to entertaining to watch the candy making process. i just get sucked in.
Thanks! I had not realized that isomalt breaks down to sorbitol and manitol. That's really good to know for all of us who have negative reactions to that sh....er..."stuff."
Thank you, as a T1 diabetic. You can't get cool sugar free flavors anywhere. You could fill in a niche in the market with interestingly flavored sugar free candy.
I really enjoy your channel, your narration tied together with the way you guys make candy is so soothing. Hope I can come to FL some day and visit the shop. Keep up the good work!
My wife and I love the nectar flavor. It’s similar to a honey in aroma. The flavor is light and does not altar the flavor of other things like chocolate or coffee can.
I've been watching you for a few years now, your videos are close to perfect, the slow-mo that you now implement I am very impressed with, it shows an ever self aware and improving self. nice to see. The tone of narration, the music type and volume, the narration volume. the video cuts and differing video clips and timings are all high grade. keep it up, your changing little, but when you do its the right choice. - UK viewer.
I finally bought a bag of Nectar drops 5 years after I watched the original video about it. I agree, it tastes of pound cake and almond. But…it also tastes like the base white candy you get with cheap swirly lollipops…which also doesn’t have a distinct flavor haha.
It's great to see people like you preserving the old ways. I think people appreciated candy more when made this way. This is a lost art form. Have you every tried Truvia as a sweetener?
I was in Tallahassee for errands and lunch (I live an hour away) yesterday and was too tired to make it to your store. I’ve been craving it for weeks! This video is such a tease...... lol next time I make it to tally I’m going to your store! No matter how tired I am 😂
This is exciting for me. I've recently quit eating sugar completely and miss candies. I'd love to use some isomalt to make my kryptonite -- chewy candy. I'll order some of yours as soon as I can!
That colour is honestly just ths prettiest colour I've ever seen.
I think the colour is called 'pink', if you were wondering.
It looks like the color of cough drops
Vance Lee lol got em
Vance Lee I don’t want to sound rude, but maybe they were trying to say it was a pretty shade of pink.

Ok

Yes! Butterscotch and honey are the 2 flavors I got from it. Very delicious. I also like the black currant, it's my favorite.
I bought it and to me it tasted like a "burnt honey" or a mix between pretty badly burnt sugar and honey.
"Acts as a dietary fiber" is a nicer way to say, "If you overindulge, you will get the runs".

Good thing I ordered some because it sounds delicious

MrsInAbox mine hasn’t come in yet
Sig Kimber yup and it tastes like cotton candy and honey
If you eat too much isomalt it acts as a laxative.
As someone with IBS, any type of sugar alcohol like sorbitol is bad-bad news. I'll stick with just the regular sugar. :)

Reminds me of that one Amazon review
There was a place in the south that made isomalt beer bottles for fake barfights. I found this very entertaining.
...this has inspired me....
Great idea though, just because of the shatter and the probability of no cuts

The first artifical sweetener was actually lead acetate used by the Roman's. For obvious reasons it didn't stick around.
As long as the artificial sugar cane naturally from a plant aspartame is a chemical and is cancer if you drink diet coke your it doing yourself any favours by drinking this and thinking it's healthy

I remember as a kid going to the health food store and one time we saw and bought sugar free candy. It was the 80s and probably the only type they had in the day. I have no idea what it was made from but i really loved the flavor. I wish I could find something similar to that. Maybe this is like that? I also always wondered how they made sugar free hard candy.
I went to check the description to find the link you talked a bout and saw that you can buy your candy I didn’t know but I absolutely will buy some when I get some more money because it seems amazing
I always have a swell of pride when you talk about getting lots of your equipment from Cincinnati. I'm Cincinnatian through and through.
I love the slow mo of breaking the candies 💕😍😍 that was REALLY satisfying thank you
Voted for all three! Good luck. I love this channel, your voice and all the things I learn with every video.
interesting. always wondered this. my mom is a type 1 diabetic so we only have sugar free candy in the house. also thank you for explaining why sugar free candy costs more. this entire time i thought it was because they know diabetics will still buy it and now you've explained it costs more to buy so the end product is more expensive.
I ordered my first ever candy from you guys, I cannot wait to get it. So excited!
Absolutely LOVE your videos, they help me to relax and fall asleep (in a good way lol)!! It's easy to see the passion you have, for your craft!!! I voted for you, in all 3 categories!!! Best of luck and keep up the amazing work!!!
I truly love watching how candy is made by hand. Best of luck winning this year as I have voted for you guys to win :)
Voted! I'm glad to contribute to my favourite candy and confection's company! 😊 I wish you good luck!
i tried to put these videos on so i can listen to them while i work, but it's just to entertaining to watch the candy making process. i just get sucked in.
Thanks! I had not realized that isomalt breaks down to sorbitol and manitol. That's really good to know for all of us who have negative reactions to that sh....er..."stuff."
Thank you, as a T1 diabetic. You can't get cool sugar free flavors anywhere. You could fill in a niche in the market with interestingly flavored sugar free candy.
I really enjoy your channel, your narration tied together with the way you guys make candy is so soothing. Hope I can come to FL some day and visit the shop. Keep up the good work!
My wife and I love the nectar flavor. It’s similar to a honey in aroma. The flavor is light and does not altar the flavor of other things like chocolate or coffee can.
These are nice and mellow in flavor. Also, I like the shapes you used for them. I look forward to more SF flavors.
I've been watching you for a few years now, your videos are close to perfect, the slow-mo that you now implement I am very impressed with, it shows an ever self aware and improving self. nice to see. The tone of narration, the music type and volume, the narration volume. the video cuts and differing video clips and timings are all high grade. keep it up, your changing little, but when you do its the right choice. - UK viewer.
I finally bought a bag of Nectar drops 5 years after I watched the original video about it. I agree, it tastes of pound cake and almond. But…it also tastes like the base white candy you get with cheap swirly lollipops…which also doesn’t have a distinct flavor haha.
I'm super late to this video, but I bought a bag of this candy and it's delicious. To me, nectar flavor tastes exactly like cotton candy.
What a lovely color these candies are! And as always such a relaxing, educational video. :) I had no idea about isomalt!
this is just hypnotic :D forgets every thing you are saying because all the focus goes to the candy
It's great to see people like you preserving the old ways. I think people appreciated candy more when made this way. This is a lost art form. Have you every tried Truvia as a sweetener?
Greg, I just opened my bag of these - these are *really* good!
The color and shapes are sooooo pretty.
I absolutely love the colour and look of these!
I was in Tallahassee for errands and lunch (I live an hour away) yesterday and was too tired to make it to your store. I’ve been craving it for weeks! This video is such a tease...... lol next time I make it to tally I’m going to your store! No matter how tired I am 😂
This is exciting for me. I've recently quit eating sugar completely and miss candies. I'd love to use some isomalt to make my kryptonite -- chewy candy. I'll order some of yours as soon as I can!
