The Macadamia is also known as the Queensland nut, and it is named in honour of the Scottish scientist who first cultivated it, John Macadam. We think of Macadamia nuts as the crème de la crème of the nut world. They're premium nuts - the nut lovers' nut, if you will. Monin's Macadamia Nut syrup brings the buttery, creamy flavour of the Macadamia nut into your grasp for flavouring drinks and desserts.
