This is from the Wikipedia article:

Panela (Spanish pronunciation: [paˈnela]) is unrefined whole cane sugar, typical in Central and Latin America, which is basically a solid piece of glucose and fructose obtained from the boiling and evaporation of sugarcane juice.^{[citation needed]} It is known by various other names in different regions of the world. It is called piloncillo in Mexico, where the word "panela" is used for a cheese: Queso Panela. Jaggery is a similar product in other parts of the world. Unrefined cane sugar is also known as raspadura.

I suggest you forget it.
