About

Piloncillo, also known as panela, is unrefined whole-cane sugar pressed into traditional cones. It has a deep molasses-like flavor with notes of caramel and smoke.

A staple of Mexican kitchens, it is plant-based and adds rich, rustic sweetness that granulated sugar simply can't match.

How to Use

Chop or grate the cone, or dissolve it whole in hot liquid. To speed it up, microwave the cone briefly or wrap and tap with a mallet to break it into pieces.

Melt into simmering water with cinnamon and cloves for café de olla, or use in syrups, marinades and desserts wherever you want caramel depth.

Recipes

Piloncillo Syrup: Dissolve in water to make a rich syrup for buñuelos, pancakes and drinks.

Calabaza en Tacha: Braise pumpkin with piloncillo and cinnamon for a traditional candied dessert.
