Argao in southern Cebu is home to some of the most distinct and enduring food traditions in the province. In this episode of Eat the City, we meet the people who continue to make the dishes that define this town. We begin with the maker of Argao’s well known torta, a recipe passed down from her mother and baked in an old oven that preserves its authentic taste. We also learn the story behind kinutil, a unique beverage shared during breakfast and during communal gatherings, offering both rest and connection within the community.
Stay with us until the end to learn more about the cacao business in Argao that showcases the huge potential of Filipino chocolate in the global scene.
