Thomas Suboro
Founder
At Suboro you will find the first legitimate caramel sauce in the Netherlands. The name Suboro is a blend of the three main ingredients: sugar, butter and cream. Suboro effortlessly transforms ice cream, pancakes, yogurt, fruit or another favorite into a next-level treat.
About the Maker
Thomas Rameckers has a background as a chef, food technologist and is interested in everything that has to do with food. For Suboro he was inspired by Scandinavia where caramel sauce is a ‘normal’ product that is eaten on everything. “When I ate an ice cream for the first time in Stockholm a few years ago with a tube of caramel sauce next to me, I wondered: why don’t we have this in the Netherlands, while we are so known for our pasture shelves and dairy products?” Thomas started recipe development in 2022 – he believes that the taste mainly comes from the quality of the ingredients. From late 2023 onwards, all of the Netherlands can enjoy Suboro.
Production Process & Sustainability
At Suboro, they take pride in and are transparent about their ingredient choices, prioritizing flavor, quality, and minimal environmental impact. “Commercial caramel sauces don’t contain any real caramel at all. Instead, they’re made from sugar water with caramel flavoring, stabilizers, and palm oil. It’s easier and cheaper, but simply not the same.” Suboro’s sauces, on the other hand, are made with real caramel – without stabilizers or artificial flavors – resulting in superior taste and quality.
The sauces are crafted in a traditional way in Amstelveen. Suboro partners with organic farmers who supply the dairy. The butter and milk come from the Weerribben region, while the cream comes from a farm just across the border near Enschede. However, they deliberately choose not to use organic sugar, as most organic sugar is imported from Asia. All bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic.

'I didn't know I needed this, until now.'
