Dibs (Molasses)

Dibs is a thick, dark, sweet syrup made by slowly boiling down fruit juice, most often from grapes or carob. It is a familiar item in Lebanese and wider Levantine kitchens. One of the most common ways to enjoy it is mixed with tahini into a smooth dip, scooped up with bread for breakfast or a quick snack. It is also drizzled over bread, stirred into desserts and baked goods, and used as a natural-tasting sweetener in some sauces and marinades. You can find dibs in the pantry section at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf. We are a package-free grocery store, and customers are encouraged to bring their own containers when they visit the shop.
