Cajeta is a caramel-style confection that’s typically made with goat’s milk, which gives it a creamy, milk-forward flavor and a luxe texture. Regular caramel is often sugar-forward and can be thinner or stickier depending on the recipe. On this page, you’ll see cajeta offered as syrup toppings, spreadable jars, and candies.
