Panela, raw and unrefined cane sugar from Colombia, boasts a lightly sweet molasses taste with warm caramel undertones, making it a unique and flavorful ingredient that can be used interchangeably with brown or white sugar in coffee, cocktails, baking, cooking, and more. Handmade traditionally for centuries, panela is produced by dehydrating raw sugarcane juice over low heat, then cooling it into bricks, using sugarcane stalks dried in the sun as fuel, ensuring a highly sustainable process that retains naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants.
