What is Gula Java?

Gula Java is the coconut blossom sugar from Java. The sweet nectar from the coconut blossom is a cherished resource, harvested by tappers high in the coconut trees. In a kettle above a log fire, the nectar slowly transforms into a delicious, unrefined rich sugar. Enjoyable at every moment of the day with a soft and sweet caramel flavour.

Gula Java can be used as a substitute for cane or beet sugar, agave or maple syrup. Perfect for in tea or coffee, delicious on oven-warmed apples, baked bananas, pancakes, pies, waffles, pastries, cakes and other baked goods. Also perfect for cocktails (e.g. Mojito, Caipirinha, etc.) If you fancy, it can be used as the decorative sugar rim for your cocktail glass.

Ideal to finish off dishes or to add authenticity to Asian recipes. Can also be used as a snack for some extra energy.

It is recognised as the most sustainable form of sugar by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). 

Amanprana’s coconut blossom sugar is Fair World

Amanprana's coconut blossom sugar, known as Gula Java, is organic and Fair World. Amanprana closely works together with Lestari Mandiri, Fairworld and Hivos for the production of its coconut blossom sugar. Lestari is an association which stands up for the rights of the small-scale farmers and their families in central Java.

Hivos is a humanitarian organisation that stands for a fair, free and sustainable world. It also stands for equal chances for all people. In the province Kulon Progo, located in central Java, Amanprana also works closely with Fairworld, which ensures that the harvest and production of our coconut blossom sugar is organic and occurs with the fair trade principles. Both Fairworld and Hivos are members of the Organic Alliance; an alliance that strives for more organic produce in Indonesia. 

Together, Amanprana and these organisations try to provide 2,000 families with additional income and to protect their home. The coconut trees in their own gardens now yield their own harvest as well.
