The story & the craft.

Crosby Foods connects a Saint John business history with the Maritime molasses trade. Its current product information helps a cook make a more specific choice: Fancy and Blackstrap have different characteristics and should not be treated as the same ingredient in every recipe. Fancy is made from sugarcane juice and comes in several package sizes, while Blackstrap is listed as a separate product in a 675 g package.

Begin with the molasses named in your recipe, then choose the package you plan to use. If the label or a retailer’s selection leaves a question, the official business form offers a route for product and ingredient inquiries. The maker identifies Madre Tierra in Guatemala as its sole Fancy molasses supplier. That origin sits alongside the Canadian business story; it does not establish Blackstrap’s exact source or where every product is packaged.
