Product Info

Discover the traditional story and preparation of Sri Lankan Kithul treacle and Kithul jaggery at Aratuwa Handicraft in Naula, Matale District, Sri Lanka.

Learn about the Kithul palm (Caryota urens), how its sap is traditionally collected, and how local communities have produced Kithul treacle and jaggery for generations.

At the location, see a small Kithul tree that is used to help explain and identify the plant. Sap collection from a mature Kithul tree does not take place during the experience. Instead, see the traditional equipment and tools used in the process while the guide explains step by step how skilled Kithul producers collect the sap.

Learn how the collected sap is traditionally heated and reduced to produce Kithul treacle and how the process is continued to make Kithul jaggery. Hear about the traditional techniques, equipment, preparation methods, and the importance of Kithul production to Sri Lankan village culture.

Taste authentic Kithul treacle and jaggery and discover how these products are traditionally enjoyed in Sri Lanka. Kithul treacle is famously paired with buffalo curd and can also be enjoyed with desserts, pancakes, ice cream, and other foods.
