What makes tocino an all-time favorite Filipino food

From the friendly neighborhood carinderia to the family dining table, one of the unmistakable Pinoy favorites is tocino. A staple in the -silog menus that Filipinos have come to love, tocino is a top choice among the many viands it contends with during meals.

Easy to prepare via stir-fry, tocino is ideal for on-the-go moms and busy one-person households even during the breakfast rush, when there is limited time to spend on cooking. It is also a good choice for packed meals because, aside from trouble-free preparation, it doesn’t spoil as fast as other meats because it is cured and fried.

What makes tocino so appetizing? The red color is the first thing that informs us of its identity, and in the psychology of colors, a robust red enhances the appetite. The deliciously tender pork is juicy and delicate but firm enough for that substantial mouth feel of downing a hearty, full meal. What makes it distinct, however, is its natural flavor—a combination of saltiness rounded off with caramelized sweetness so eloquent that it speaks to every Pinoy, giving feelings of comfort and satisfaction.

All these qualities make Purefoods Tocino the sure hit during every meal.
