The making of pure date sap jaggery called Nolen Gur in Bengal during winters

nOLEN GUR & SESAME WALNUTS

As India descends into winters, we explore the extraordinary relationship the subcontinent has with date palms. Dating their cultivation as far back as the Indus Valley, Bengal however has been the first to extract sweet, golden sap from this vital tree.

This winter, while we reintroduce our classic Jaggery and Sesame Walnuts, we have chosen Nolen Gur as our natural sweetener to add a smoky, caramel note to the crunch. Sourced from Earth Story Farms, the painstakingly manual but mindful process to make Nolen Gur in the winters allows us to indulge in an age-old Bengali tradition.
