VIA GRAPHIC PLUS | MANILA, Philippines — As the holiday season approaches, Filipino households are looking for new ways to make meals and gatherings more special. To help home cooks, Clara Olé has introduced its new Multipurpose Sauces, a four-blend range designed to add versatility to the kitchen and inspire dishes beyond the everyday.
The new range features Paella Blend, Aligue Flavored Blend, Tomato Guisado Blend, and Ginger & Garlic Blend. To show what these sauces can do, Clara Olé partnered with Filipino chef and entrepreneur Wado Siman, owner of Brutal by Wadoughs, to create a four-course tasting menu, drawing inspiration from culinary traditions around the world.
“At Clara Olé, we want to inspire home cooks to explore new flavors and possibilities in their own kitchens,” said Esfrey Sia, Senior Brand Manager of Clara Olé. “Our Multipurpose Sauces are designed to make experimenting with different dishes more approachable, giving Filipinos more ways to get creative with everyday ingredients and bring something special to the table.”
Paella Pani Puri pairs Valencian paella with the beloved Indian street snack pani puri, tied together by Clara Olé Paella Blend.
Crab Chawanmushi is the chef’s take on Japan’s steamed egg custard, paired with Clara Olé Aligue Flavored Blend for a richer, more indulgent character.
Beef Tortellini en Brodo takes a detour to Italy, with stuffed pasta served in broth. Clara Olé Tomato Guisado Blend becomes the foundation of its deep, savory flavor.
Steamed Sea Bass with Ginger & Garlic shows how Clara Olé Ginger & Garlic Blend lifts a delicate fish dish and refines it into something more.
These four dishes are just examples of what the sauces can do. With blends that suit many dishes, the only limit is the cook’s creativity.
