Colombian panela
Sold in rectangular bricks or rounds of various
sizes, Colombian brown loaf sugar is called
panela. It has a pleasant caramel color similar to
light muscovado and a rich, fruity flavor.
Mexican piloncillo
Shaped like a small cone, hence the name piloncillo,
this artisanal Mexican brown loaf sugar is as rich
and fruity as Colombian panela.
Latin brown sugars are made by cooking down
sugar cane juice, no wonder they are rich and
complex, tasting like sugar cane. These are
artisanal sugars in the true sense of the word.
