As a mom, being the one in-charge of our kitchen, I am always on the lookout for things that give ultimate value for money. For sure, I am not alone in the  unwritten rule that grocery food items need to be both great-tasting and affordable to be in my grocery list! Do you agree? 

And since no Filipino table is complete without our well-loved comfort food such as adobo and pansit, moms and dads or anyone in the family who loves cooking, particularly those from the Visayas and Mindanao would be delighted to know that Luzon's favorite brand, SELECT soy sauce and suking puti is finally available in the area.

I attended the product launch here in Davao City at dusitD2 (Dusit Thani Hotel) last week and the chef prepared the above-mentioned Pinoy dishes using Select soy sauce and sukang puti. We had the chance to sample them and personally I can say that they certainly tasted good. I liked it that the adobo had the classic taste, not too sour and with a hint of sweetness in it.

To give you a background, Select is produced by Wellmade Manufacturing Corporation which is a trusted brand by Filipinos. For 44 years now, the company and the Select brand is synonymous to quality and taste, essential elements of a product that make food taste extra special.

Select is proudly Philippine-made. It is the brands mission is to provide high quality, healthy,

cooking products that are affordable to the average Filipino consumer.

“A husband and wife Chinese migrants established Essential Manufacturing in 1975 with Select

Soy Sauce and Select Vinegar as the company’s main products. With limited capital, they started

a small business with minimal production and distribution limited in Luzon,” said Joseph Charles

Cruel, the managing director of Wellmade.

“We’re a year short of turning 45 years old. We took small yet sure steps with the company’s

growth. This year will be another milestone for Wellmade when the Select products will start its

distribution in Visayas and Mindanao,” he said.
