Panela Whole Cane Sugar

Panela whole cane sugar – all-natural sugar in its most original form

Panela is sugar in its most original form, entirely unrefined and all-natural. The cream-yellow whole cane sugar is created by gently evaporating the pure sugar-cane juice, without further processing. Intense, lightly fruity and wonderfully caramelly in taste.

How to use

Ideal for refining desserts, baked goods and sweet dishes. Also a fine alternative to refined sugar in cold and hot drinks. Especially good in caramel sauces, with panna cotta, crème brûlée, muesli and yoghurt.

Important: store dry, cool and airtight. Because of its natural residual moisture Panela can clump slightly, simply crush it.
