Philippine Produce Feta Cheese

Feta Cheese


When you're into business, it's like you're also putting your money in a gamble. The return of your investment could not be 100 percent sure, or even resulted into bankruptcy.

But this fate had not happened to the owner of the JSJ GOAT FARM, Jeffrey and Kathleen Lim when they put-up their hobby turn business. Out of 10 purebred goats in June 2001 they successfully breed 300 heads as of today and continuously expanding in their 10 hectares pasture in Barangay Caturay, Gerona, Tarlac.

To acquire more upgraded breed of goats, in March 2005 they imported hybrid goats from Australia. Some of the breeds that they have now are the Boer, Anglo Nubian, Saanen and British Alpines. Aside from goats they have also sheep like the Dorpers.

Out of the goats that they breed, they sell this for market consumption. Others are for the production of milk which the supply in the supermarket are not enough to cater the demand.

Because of excess production of milk, the owner then eventually started to think for a solution which can even generate another income for their pocket. Until, they come up in studying the process of cheese making. It took about a year the perfectness of Feta cheese production.

Feta (Greek: φέτα) is a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece. Feta is an aged crumbly cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. It is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads (e.g. the Greek salad), pastries and in baking, notably in the popular phyllo-based dishes spanakopita ("spinach pie") and tyropita ("cheese pie") and combined with olive oil and vegetables. It can also be served cooked or grilled, as part of a sandwich or as a salty alternative to other cheeses in a variety of dishes.


Today, Aussie Feta Cheese is now available in market with an introductory price of P250. Aside from this they have also the kesong-puti a perfect combination of the hot pandesal for a typical Filipino breakfast.

Organic Coconut Sugar

8:41 PM |


For the health conscious consumers and diabetics, Coconut Sugar can be considered to be the best sweetener substitute available in the market because of the many benefits that it has to offer. Tests done by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute & Department of Science Technology of the Philippines has revealed a low glycemic index (GI) of 35 compared to that of table sugar’s glycemic index of 64.

According to a scientist from Food and Nutrition Research Institute, Glycemic Index is the glucose response of an individual from food relative to a standard glucose solution. Low glucose index food is good for proper control of diabetes mellitus and has shown to lower the LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol or known as the bad cholesterol. It has been also noted that it is also good for weight maintenance, thus preventing obesity or being overweight.

Coconut Sugar is 100% natural and does not contain any additives and artificial flavoring. Comparative chemical analysis also revealed that coconut sugar contains higher amount of nutrients compared to brown cane sugar. According to the report, coconut sugar has some amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, chlorine, magnesium, sulfur and micro nutrients.

Packing is available in 1 kilo retail bags, in 25 pounds and in 25 kilos kraft paper bags. Buyer's label is also available.



Like the coconut trees that dot the tropical landscape of the Philippines, Celebes stands tall and proud today. Its corporate odyssey began without much fanfare in 1981 when it manufactured wood products from timber sourced from its forest concession in Butuan City, Philippines located in the island of Mindanao. Yet from this modest start emerged one of the country’s largest export oriented enterprises, right at the onset of the New Millennium.

Peter Paul Philippine Corp. Foundation

On June 29, 1946, a couple of days before the Philippines gained independence from the American rule, and 48 years after freedom from Spanish domination, Peter Paul Philippine Corporation was established in Barrio Pahinga, Candelaria, Quezon Province, making the company one of the corporate forerunners of a then young nation. The plant which was built in 46 days was founded for the purpose of manufacturing desiccated coconut to supply its then parent company, Peter Paul Inc. of Naugatuck, Connecticut, USA, makers of the famous Mounds and Almond Joy chocolate bars. High quality manufacturing standards were established to ensure the reliability and consistent quality of its desiccated coconut supply to the American parent corporation.

Built in the heartland of sprawling coconut plantation in Luzon, which provide the continuous supply of fresh premium coconuts year round, the 13-hectare property is located about 100 kilometers south of the city of Manila.

The property includes managers' residences, a hospital, and recreational facilities for its employees. In 1962, majority interest in the company was sold to the Filipino group, which has since maintained management control. The company has established production facilities to produce other coconut products, such as coconut milk and cream, coconut water, virgin coconut oil, coconut flour/fiber, copra, copra cake, coconut oil, paring cake, paring oil, and other residual products, thus consolidating its strengths in the creation of an integrated coconut processing plant.

Zamboanga's Lokot-Lokot

7:09 PM |




THE ORIGIN OF THE “LOKOT-LOKOT”

The Muslim communities in the Zamboanga Peninsula are known for the variety of delicacies they produce during special occasions, especially the “Hariraya” or the feast of the Eid-il-Fitr, which celebrates the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. Foremost among the goodies is the golden brown curious-looking “locot-locot” or “jaa” as the villagers call them. A lot of people actually consider it as the “queen” of the delicacies because it is the most popular and frequently asked for by guests.

It is fascinating to watch someone who is seeing the locot-locot for the first time. After asking what it is, he instantly wants to taste it, and as it crunches in his mouth his eyes light up with pleasure and he nods approvingly. Some give the okay sign or put up their thumbs enthusiastically.

If you ask how the locot-locot came about, its origin is sadly lost in the mist of time. Fortunately the ancestors of the present Muslims passed on its technology to the next generations down through the millennia. Some people believe it came from Malaysia or Indonesia as the region, including the southern Philippines, was once a part of the great Madjapahit Empire during the 13th and 14th centuries. The seafaring Malays probably brought it to our shores as they wandered freely throughout the area.
Legend has it that it was the locot-locot that inspired the appearance of the Chinese noodles, such as the sotanghon, bihon and miswa. It is said that several attempts of the people of China to imitate the locot-locot led to their creation, which over time became famous delicacies themselves.

Making locot-locot requires a lot of time and hard work. First the grains of rice have to be pounded into flour. Then the correct proportions of water and sugar are added to create a gooey mixture which is poured into a container made of coconut shell with regular small holes at the bottom, all the while it is poised above a frying pan filled with hot oil. As it turns golden brown it is deftly and expertly folded and shaped in the pan with a couple of wooden spoons to create the desired look. Watching a cook do the locot-locot is like watching an artist in motion.

You can tell a house is making locot-locot by the rhythmic sound coming from the kitchen made by the beating of the coconut container to pour out the dough into the frying pan. Some purists say if the rhythm is out of sync the locot-locot will not look attractive and enticing.

As you happily munch on a locot-locot think of all the work that goes into it and whisper thanks to the person who invented it. Enjoy!

San Jose Multi-Purpose Cooperative

The cooperative started on July 2,1992 with a very small sari-sari store. It was organized by a group of farmers in the barangay who were watching over the garlic plantation of the barangay. the farmers were given incentives in the form of the products. Because of this, they were able to generate funds out of the garlic which they sold in the amount of Php. 5,000.00 which served as the initial share capital of 40 members or Php. 120 share capital per member. The San Jose Multi-purpose Cooperative was registered with the Cooperative Development Authority through the help of the Department of Agriculture on October 8, 1992 with REGISTRATION NUMBER DAG-2285.

The store became bigger with the help of Gov. Rodolfo C. Farinas who gave a grant of Php. 5,000.00. Year 2000, the small capital became big and the store concreted because of the unity of the members and good management of the officers. Php. 50,000.00 was given by DOLE as a grant used to build a processing building for the Candy Making project. The start-up capital was given by DSWD. Grant also was given by the Dept. of Trade and Industry to the Loom Weaving Industry and Binakol Craft amounting to Php. 20,000.00.
