The authentic taste of 100% pure and non-refined cane sugar, fine texture and deliciously golden colour is a treat for the taste buds. Whether sprinkled on top of yoghurt or fruit or used in your cooking, La Perruche cassonade with its subtle hints of honey and vanilla is the secret to successful desserts.
Sugar cane is a wild reed thought to have originated in Bengal. Today La Perruche cane sugar is cultivated in Reunion Island, a tropical paradise of flavours and fragrances. The sugar canes soak up all the aromas and goodness of the rich soil in the North and East of the island which enjoy generous rainfall and are aired by the trade winds.
Harvested and pressed from July to December, the sugar cane produces a sweet liquid that thickens into a syrup before the formation of the first crystals. It is this sweet gold that secured the reputation of the island, then known as Ile Bourbon, back in the 19th century.
