Sucralín was created in 2010 with a clear aim: to offer an alternative to sugar. They wanted to be the best natural-origin sugar substitute. But that is for consumers to decide. And for that to happen, a series of factors had to come together to make it possible.
Two key factors stand above the rest. First, creating a product that stands apart from the competition, with enough quality to be recognized as one of the best on the market. And second, having real consumer demand for your product category, with those consumers deciding to grant you the “award” for best product.
To achieve that outcome, there were a number of factors that depended on the very people who make up Sucralín. Such as the raw materials used to make Sucralín. If they did not use the best on the market, they would hardly be able to differentiate themselves from the competition, and consumers could buy their products or others without caring about the brand.
But they invested in innovation to obtain the best final product on the market—the one that satisfied them first, so they would then have a greater chance of convincing consumers.
And they achieved it. A complete success. The best natural sweetener on the market, because it tastes like sugar, without sugar’s downsides.

In our country, we are not used to being leaders or benchmarks that set trends. But over time, little by little, that idea has changed. In premium natural-origin sweeteners, Sucralín is the benchmark to follow.
Highly attractive properties
At the time Sucralín was created, other sweetening options appeared on the market, some of natural origin such as Stevia, very sweet but with an aftertaste that transforms the flavor of food, as it tastes like licorice. And others such as polyols (erythritol or maltitol), which do sweeten, but whose consumption causes flatulence and laxative effects.
Sucralín is the “well-rounded” sweetener. It is concentrated, with no side effects. Its sweetening power is between 7 and 10 times sweeter than sugar, with a very similar texture and, most importantly, it tastes like sugar.
In addition, it made it possible to use it not only to sweeten drinks or dairy products, but also to take the step of entering the kitchen, becoming one more ingredient in the preparation of recipes. Its ease of use in cooking completed the circle.
Add to that its extremely low calories. It is also suitable for people with diabetes, contains no gluten or lactose, and is gentle on the liver (it contains no phenylalanine, unlike Aspartame, the sweetener used in zero-calorie soft drinks), giving us a product that changed the way dishes, drinks and desserts are sweetened forever.
That is how its journey began back in 2011, entering pharmacies and parapharmacies. And thanks to its success, it spread throughout Spain. Its distribution expanded to herbal shops, dietetic centers, supermarkets, the industrial/professional market and, of course, the internet.
Storage: keep in a cool place away from light.
