Discover the depth of flavour straight from the Philippines with Sukang Iloko from Jade Pinoy Favorites. The name "Sukang Iloko" refers to vinegar sourced from the northern Ilocos region, a place where the production of this liquid gold has a centuries-old tradition. It is a product resulting from the natural fermentation of sugarcane juice. It often passes through the stage of sugarcane wine, called basi, and then naturally sours to achieve the perfect balance between acidity and subtle sweetness. This traditional method guarantees a unique, deep, and complex flavour profile that is incomparable to commercial, distilled counterparts. Sukang Iloko typically has a darker colour and a slightly cloudy appearance, which is a testament to its authentic, natural production and fermentation. Although the ingredients label only lists vinegar, its unique, complex taste is what sets it apart from others.

In Filipino cuisine, Sukang Iloko plays a culinary role that goes far beyond simple souring. It is not just a condiment, but also an element of culture. It enhances the flavour of fried, grilled, and stewed dishes, giving them a distinct zest. It is absolutely essential for preparing famous Filipino dishes, such as Adobo, where it perfectly balances the saltiness of soy sauce, or Paksiw, in which it is combined with fish or meat during the vinegared cooking process. However, its most popular use is the legendary dipping sauce Sawsawan. Just combine it with fresh garlic, onion, chilli, and a pinch of salt to create the perfect accompaniment for Lumpia (Filipino spring rolls), Lechon Kawali (crispy pork belly), or Ilocos Empanada.
