Panela is sugar made from unrefined sugar with a high Molasses content.

Non-centrifugal means are used to produce the sugar. Sugar cane juice is just evaporated over heat until it forms a syrup called "miel" (sic), then boiled and stirred until it crystallizes and forms Panela. Panela is sold in blocks. The syrup can also be used to make Piloncillo with.

Sometimes in the Andes, Panela is made from concentrated juice from Yacon.

When crushed up, Panela is called "polvo."
