From the iconic metal tin through to the great sweet taste, there is never any mistaking Lyles Golden Syrup. This versatile British stalwart is ideal both as a spread and as an ingredient in a wide range of baking recipes and desserts. The Victorian splendour of Lyles Golden Syrup tin remains as it was at the time of the product’s introduction in 1885. The imagery on the tin refers to the biblical story of Sampson and the Lion – ‘Out of the strong came forth sweetness.’ The syrup itself is thick and orangey, and is derived from a type of sugar syrup.
