The sugar is organically grown, so no pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers are used in its cultivation. It is extracted directly from the sugar cane, using evaporation techniques. The product has a non-homogeneous texture with the presence of molasses lumps. As it is not refined, it retains all its nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Its flavour is intense with a slight taste of liquorice. The organic food certificate of the product guarantees that no refining or chemical process is applied in its elaboration.
