About Piloncillo / Acerca del Piloncillo
Our Piloncillo (Brown Sugar Cane Cones) is unrefined whole cane sugar molded into the traditional Mexican cone shape (also called "panela" in some regions). Rich molasses-like flavor with caramel, smoky, and earthy notes — totally different from refined brown sugar (which is just white sugar with added molasses). The authentic sweetener for café de olla, ponche navideño, capirotada, atole, champurrado, and traditional Mexican dulces.
Nuestro piloncillo mexicano es azúcar de caña sin refinar, moldeado en la clásica forma de cono. Sabor profundo a melaza, caramelo y tierra — totalmente distinto al azúcar morena del supermercado (que es azúcar blanca con melaza agregada). El edulzante auténtico de café de olla, ponche navideño, capirotada, atole, champurrado, dulces de leche y postres tradicionales mexicanos.

Quick Tip / Tip rápido
To dissolve piloncillo faster, chop it with a knife or grate it before adding to liquid — whole cones can take 20+ minutes to fully dissolve in hot water. Or wrap in towel and crush with hammer.
Para disolver el piloncillo más rápido, pícalo con cuchillo o rállalo antes de agregar al líquido — un cono entero tarda 20+ minutos en disolverse en agua caliente. O envuélvelo en trapo y rómpelo con un mazo.
