A syrupy condiment popular in ancient Rome, produced by boiling grape must down to one third of its volume. It was mixed with honey and had a smoky, caramel-like taste. The active ingredient is still used in the kitchen today. Very similar was the defrutum, which was reduced to about half the volume. See also under concentrated grape must.
