Its name comes from the Cebuano word "kurat", meaning "surprise" or "frighten", which perfectly captures the intensity and depth of flavor one can expect. Suka Pinakurat is an essential element of the Filipino table, used primarily as a spicy dipping sauce and a flavor enhancer for many dishes. Perfect for dipping (sawsawan) all types of dishes such as Lechon (roast pig), Lumpia (fried spring rolls), seafood, grilled meats, and as an intense marinade.

Discover the essence of Filipino flavor with Suka Pinakurat Spiced Coconut Vinegar – a legendary condiment that has graced tables across the archipelago for years. This product is the result of a unique process where the sweet nectar from coconut palm flowers is naturally fermented into vinegar. Unlike sugar cane or grape vinegars, coconut vinegar has a subtly sweet, milder, and more complex flavor profile, which provides an ideal background for aromatic spices. The secret to Suka Pinakurat's uniqueness lies in its richness of natural ingredients: spicy chili peppers, intense garlic, onion, and paprika.

These additions not only give it a fiery character but also a deep, multilayered aroma. The whole is a culinary umami flavor bomb with a distinct, burning finish that surprises – hence its name "surprise" (kurat). The Suka Pinakurat brand, proudly produced by Green Gold Gourmet Foods, Inc. in Iligan City, Philippines, is synonymous with quality and authenticity. Since its inception in the early 21st century, it has become an icon of Filipino condiments, gaining recognition for its uncompromising and bold flavor. The company consistently focuses on traditional methods and natural ingredients, delivering a product free from artificial additives and preservatives. In Filipino cuisine, Suka Pinakurat is primarily "sukang sawsawan", a dipping sauce. It is an absolute must-have when serving grilled meat (like popular skewered barbecue), crispy pork belly, fried Lumpia dumplings, or fish.

A few drops of this vinegar can transform a simple dish into a feast full of deep and exciting flavors. It is also an excellent ingredient for marinades for seafood or pork, giving them a unique, spicy kick. If you are looking for a way to bring a touch of exoticism and authentic Filipino spiciness to your kitchen, Suka Pinakurat is the perfect choice. It's a small bottle that holds a great culinary adventure – prepare yourself for a "surprise" of flavor that will warm your palate and inspire new combinations.
