About Haito
These high-quality imports are sourced directly to ensure freshness and true-to-tradition taste—no watered-down versions here. Ideal for home cooks recreating beloved dishes like lechon kawali, pancit, or kare-kare, they pair brilliantly with rice, fresh vegetables, and tropical fruits. Beyond mains, use them in quick marinades for barbecues or to jazz up simple salads.
Storage is straightforward: keep soy sauces and vinegars in a cool, dark cupboard for up to two years; fish sauce benefits from refrigeration once opened to preserve its potency. With Haito, you're not just buying ingredients—you're bringing Filipino culinary heritage to your table, making every meal a taste of Manila. Easy to stock for busy weeks, these staples save time without skimping on authenticity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the must-have items in the Haito collection?
Key picks include Datu Puti vinegar and soy sauce for marinades, Golden Mountain seasoning for stir-fries, and Healthy Boy fish sauce for soups. These form the backbone of Filipino cooking and are versatile for fusion dishes too.
How do I store Haito Filipino ingredients properly?
Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigerate fish sauce and opened vinegars to maintain flavour; most last 1-2 years when kept correctly.
Can I use Haito products in non-Filipino recipes?
Absolutely—these ingredients shine in Asian fusion, like adding fish sauce to Thai curries or soy vinegar to poke bowls, adding authentic depth without overpowering.
Are Haito products suitable for vegetarians?
Many are, such as Datu Puti vinegar and Golden Mountain seasoning, but check labels for fish sauce variants. We highlight vegan-friendly options clearly.
