Panela (Piloncillo) is a traditional, unrefined cane sugar commonly used in fermentation, brewing, and cooking. Boiled from raw cane juice, it retains minerals and rich flavor.
Comes in 8 oz or 1 lb package, this organic cane sugar brings more character than white or brown sugar, with notes of molasses, caramel, and a mild smokiness. It’s a common ingredient in drinks like tepache and is often used to add complexity to dark beers, rum-style ferments, kombucha, or sugar washes.
You can dissolve it in warm water before adding it to your mix. It blends easily into starter cultures, bases, or brine solutions, and its trace minerals can support microbial growth in fermentation.
