Gula Melaka Merlimau is a traditional Malaysian palm sugar made from the sap of coconut or nipa palm trees, produced specifically in the Merlimau region. It is known for its rich caramel aroma, deep golden-brown colour, and smooth, creamy texture. The sugar is crafted by slowly boiling fresh palm sap until it thickens, then moulding it into solid cylinders or blocks. This slow-cooking process gives it a naturally sweet, smoky, and slightly earthy flavour that is more complex than regular refined sugar. Gula Melaka Merlimau melts easily and is widely used in desserts, drinks, and traditional dishes, adding depth and authentic Malaysian flavour.
