The Rich History of Chicharon


Chicharon has deep roots in Filipino culture, with origins tracing back to Spanish colonial times. The word "chicharrón" is derived from the Spanish term for fried pork belly or fried pork rinds. Over the years, this dish has evolved, with various regions in the Philippines putting their own spin on it.


Regional Variations


  • Cebu Chicharon: Known for its crunchy texture and flavorful seasoning, Cebu chicharon is often made from pork belly and is a staple in many households.

  • Ilocos Chicharon: This version is typically made from the skin of the pig, resulting in a lighter, crispier snack that is often enjoyed with vinegar dipping sauce.

  • Davao Chicharon: Davao's take on chicharon often incorporates local spices, giving it a unique flavor profile that reflects the region's culinary diversity.


At Ella's Best, we honor these regional variations while maintaining our commitment to quality and authenticity.


The Process Behind Ella's Best Chicharon


Creating the perfect chicharon requires skill, patience, and the right ingredients. At Ella's Best, we follow a meticulous process to ensure that every piece of chicharon is crispy, flavorful, and satisfying.


Sourcing Quality Ingredients


We believe that great chicharon starts with high-quality ingredients. Our pork is sourced from trusted local farms, ensuring that we use only the freshest and most flavorful cuts. This commitment to quality is evident in every bite.


Traditional Cooking Methods


Our chicharon is made using traditional cooking methods that have been passed down through generations. We start by boiling the pork to tenderize it, then we allow it to cool before cutting it into bite-sized pieces. The next step involves frying the pork in small batches, ensuring that each piece is cooked to perfection.


Flavoring and Seasoning


While the natural flavor of the pork is essential, we also add a blend of spices to enhance the taste. Our secret seasoning mix is carefully crafted to provide a savory kick without overpowering the natural flavors of the meat.
