Our story began over a century ago, when our grandparents settled on the outskirts of the Atlantic zone of Costa Rica and began cultivating the best sugarcane.

In this green paradise guarded by the imposing Turrialba Volcano, we found our passion in a small cane mill, which we began to use to manufacture the traditional tapa dulce, a product known in other regions as panela; this was the beginning of a very sweet tradition.

As the years went by, we became more and more specialized in the cultivation and processing of sugarcane, leading us , in the late eighties, to take the leap towards organic crops and stop the manufacture of tapa dulce, in order to produce an organic granulated sweetener, with the highest and most recognized quality.

This is how we went from a small sugar mill to the export of the sweet taste of Costa Rican sugarcane in seventeen countries on four continents. We are very happy to be able to offer you our distinguished product, in its organic and whole version, a product with high nutritional value cultivated with the greatest affection and the best quality by the collaborators of the great Assukkar family.
