Crosby Molasses website defines Fancy molasses as the following;
Fancy molasses is the syrup obtained when sugar cane is crushed and the resulting liquid is clarified and evaporated. Blackstrap molasses is a by product resulting from the manufacture of refined white sugar. When no more sugar can be economically removed from the crushed sugar cane the resulting liquid is Blackstrap Molasses. Molasses is commonly used as a health food providing important vitamins and minerals. (See the nutritional information.) Cooking molasses is a blend of Fancy and Blackstrap molasses.
