this panela is made from the highest quality organic cane sugar grown in the Amazon regions of Brazil.

The town most likely associated with rapadura production is **Santana do Cariri** in Ceará. This town is known for its traditional rapadura production, with small family businesses maintaining artisanal methods.

Other notable towns in Ceará, such as **Aracati** and **Jaguaruana**, also contribute significantly to rapadura production due to their historical ties to sugarcane cultivation and processing. However, Santana do Cariri stands out for its prominence in local production and cultural significance.
