TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The Que Rica Pili Nuts Coffee Coco Sugar is a luscious explosion of flavor in your mouth. These are premium pili nuts, hand-picked by farmers in Sorsogon, Bicol. They’ve been activated (or sprouted), which involves soaking them in salt water to break down the enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, releasing the pili nuts’ full nutritional potential.

These pili nuts are rich and buttery, and are coated with coco sugar, coco powder, coffee, and activated charcoal. The result is a sweet-savory treat, perfect for any time of the day.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

These Pili Nuts Coffee Coco Sugar from local brand, Que Rica, is a perfect snack for any time of the day! Have them with some coffee for merienda, or end your meals with a sweet-but-not-too-sweet dessert.

BICOL’S BEST

Pili nuts are arguably Bicol region’s most famous product. Bicol is the largest producer of pili nuts in the Philippines, with almost 85% of the country’s production coming from the provinces of Albay, Camarines Sur, Sorsogon, and Catanduanes. The pili tree is a resilient tree, able to withstand most changes in its surroundings, can survive floods and strong winds, and can recover easily from typhoons. Sold as fresh whole fruit, shelled kernels, or dried nuts, pili is a popular pasalubong. Sellers have taken on different ways to make them marketable, the most popular being its candied form.

Que Rica is one such seller. The eponymous brand of Le Cordon Bleu Paris-trained chef, Rica Dakudao Buenaflor, aims to elevate regional heritage foods to new heights. She moved to her husband’s native Bicol in the early 2000s, and headed the R&D department of the Bicolano-Spanish restaurant “¿Que Pasa?” in Naga City. She also pioneered the collective called #BestofBicol, which aims to promote the region’s best.

The brand is filled with inspired and inspiring individuals, empowered to shine a spotlight on Bicol’s culinary heritage. They partner with a community of women in Gainza, Camarines Sur for their bottled products, and their pili nuts come from farmers in Irosin, Sorsogon. All of their offerings are hand-packed right at the source, ensuring quality and reflecting the respect and love the community has for its food and its customers.
