This small business makes fresh kesong puti from home, as well as kesong puti nuggets, empanadas, and kesong puti spreads!
A Filipino favorite, the creamy kesong puti is made from unskimmed carabao's milk, resulting in a soft, moist, white cheese perfect on pandesal, in salads, or as a substitute to mozzarella or ricotta.
When Sweet Bulakenya Foods started in 2010, it took a while for the business to take off – Lani initially only had two kilograms of kesong puti to sell. But once her relatives in Metro Manila tried it and began sending it to their friends, the demand slowly and steadily increased, with local restaurants and hotels beginning to take notice. They then took in Sweet Bulakenyo Foods as a supplier.
Lani then expanded her kesong puti menu to other variants, in hopes of boosting the sales of farmers – she now has kesong puti spread, kesong puti cream cheese, kesong puti nuggets, keso-dilyo , kesong puti empanadas, kesong puti pimiento, and many more. "We personally approach the farmers to supply us with the milk. They wouldn't be able to do so if it wasn't on a regular basis. So it was really hard at first, when didn't have enough of a market yet. We even lost money by making stocks," Lani said.
The keso-dilya, a punny play on the Mexican quesadilla, is made with a thin, crisp homemade tortilla encasing kesong puti and butter. When toasted on the pan, it comes out crunchy, buttery, and creamy.
