Passed by the Deli of Rustan’s at Rockwell and got very surprised at the offering of Malagos Cheeses from Davao. I was intrigued by this very fine pack of Blush, and I must say, it was truly a revelation that this cheese for me ranks with some of the best soft european cheeses I’ve had. Fantastico. The lady beside me, who bought many different kinds of cheeses, remarked that she is from Davao and she says that it is something she is proud of. Way to go, Malagos. (Incidentally, it’s midnight, and I am having quite a big slice of the cheese with saltines… yum).

Malagos Farm and Garden Resort is currently producing 16 kinds of cheese. You can also join us for the Malagos Farm Fair on August 7 & 8, and personally witness as many as 300 dairy goats showcases at one time. Aside from that, you can also join the seminar on Cheese in the Philippines by Olive Puentespina.

Dear Sir,

I would like to thank you for featuring the cheeses that I make and sharing your “find” to others. The response in truly heartwarming and encouraging. Mindanao has so much untapped resources, we just have to harness them, starting with the hardworking people of the South. Your medium also encourages patronizing local produce. In my opinion, that will really help propel this country forward, Proudly Filipino!

My very best personal regards,

Olive Panaligan Puentespina

Wow, super impressed. Sayang they didn’t make cheese yet when we visited the farm in Davao about two years ago. But I remember they already had goat’s milk in their restaurant. MM, go visit this Sept because most of their fruits are in season and they come really cheap at this time. Lanzones for P20 or less and lots of mangosteen for your jams. That’s also where I saw the mini cucurbitas or gourds or pumpkins which make really nice decor for Halloween. Is it only in Alabang where they have the cheese, according to their website? I hope they also bring some to QC. Traffic in SLEX is something you wouldn’t want to wish even to your enemies!

Thank you much for the mention, Maricel and GayeN.:)

Yes, MM, there’s a 4-page article about Olive Puentespina and her cheeses in the September ’09 issue of YUMMY magazine. We visited her last July and had a wonderful time chatting with her and sampling her delicious products. She and her husband Dr. Bo are doing an amazing job, from taking care of the goats and cows in their farm in Malagos to making the cheeses in Agdao, Davao City. Her products are available in the Cheese Room of Wine Depot in Alabang. You may reach Ms. Olive P. through this number: 0917-7001205.

While at it, i-plug ko na rin that there’s also an 8-page article about Davao fruits–Durian, Pomelo, pineapple, cacao, guapple; plus marang, mangosteen, morado banana, etc. In the same issue is a special feature about Bicol’s gata dishes.

Enjoy!:)

I just had a lunch time salad with ripe tomatoes, chunks of goat blue cheese and some other veggies with a vinaigrette and it was SUPERB. :)
