Palena is a Guatemalan based company. The history of our Panela (whole sugar cane) dates back since 1800, when the ancestors of Palena discovered their passion for such a noble product. As this is now the fourth generation, we want to share this passion with the upcoming generations so that our dear panela can be recognized not only for the purity and craft work that it involves, but also for all the qualities in terms of minerals, vitamins and energy it contains.
Our Mission
To make a tradition of having around some panela to sweeten our coffee every day, that is our mission.
