What is Panela?

Panela is a natural sweetener obtained from evaporated sugarcane juice, avoiding any refinement process unlike traditional granulated sugar and other sweeteners, delivering both a unique flavor profile and balanced sweetness.

Due to the use of heat treatment, without chemical reactions, Panela retains vitamins and minerals naturally found in the sugarcane (calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium).

Panela is a product widely consumed in Latin America and is also known as piloncillo, chancaca, rapadura, and papelón, among other names.

Appearance and Flavor

Panela can be dark or light brown in color and is commonly available in blocks or cones, although it can also be found in granulated form. Its naturally sweet flavor features rich caramel notes that are more intense than refined sugar, allowing you to use less and enjoy fewer calories while maintaining a balanced sweetness.
