Suppliers
In order to support Davao businesses, it is important that we purchase ingredients
grown in Davao Region whenever possible. We solely use Wheat Davao/Philippines for our
flour as well as Davao dairies for our dairy products. Other ingredients are purchased and
delivered from a local food distributor.
We use top quality local suppliers and produce a premium product, with everything
we make being made in-house, cooked to order.
