Meet the producers

From the main island of Java, Indonesia smallholder farmers in Boyolali grow and process our Coconut sugar. 100% of the money from harvesting and primary processing stays within the local community.

How is evaporated palm nectar produced

Farmers climb the coconut palms and collect the sugar blossom nectar by gently slicing the flower. Once harvested the nectar is transferred into kettles. The evaporation process lowers the moisture content of the nectar before it is allowed to set into a solid nectar "brick".Once the nectar has cooled and solidified it is then ground into granules.
