"Panela" whole cane sugar, to replace brown sugar

Panela is also called rapadura or muscovado depending on the regions of the world where it is produced. It is actually a whole cane sugar, obtained by simply evaporating the juice of the cane.

Often confused with brown sugar, panela is much more natural and healthier than its cousin. Indeed, brown sugar is obtained by mixing refined sugar with molasses. Whereas for panela, there is no refining process or separation of molasses. That’s why it is also called whole or integral sugar.

This sugar is known for its high content of minerals and trace elements.

Sometimes sold in block form, our panela is granulated for greater ease of use.

Its caramelized and spicy aroma will give an inimitable flavor to your desserts, yogurt, cereals and fruit salads. Aguapanela is a typical drink of Colombia, a delicious and refreshing lemonade made with lime and panela.

Our organic and fair trade panela is produced in various cooperatives in northern Peru. Our main partner is the CAES cooperative, which includes farms in the vicinity of Montero, Peru. These farms include 150 producers who are divided into 48 modules (production units including the mill and the building with the tanks to filter and heat cane juice). Depending on availability, panela can also come from the Narandino cooperative.
