DELICACIES

  Calamay 

 This is one of the must-try treats when visiting Bohol. Though calamay is known across that country (with other names), nothing beats the Calamay from Jagna, enclosed in a coconut shell and sealed with a red band. It is a concoction of glutinous rice, sugar, coconut milk and some peanuts.

Torta de Bohol 

 Merienda time is torta time. In Bohol you can taste one of the best-tasting tortas in the country. Torta means “cake” in Spanish. It is soft, fluffy, moist and easy to swallow.

 Peanut Kisses 

 This is a signature Boholano recipe and only here you can find cookies shaped like a miniature Chocolate Hills (the famous attraction of Bohol) or Hershey Kisses. It is basically made of high-quality peanuts and eggs, baked crisp to bring that nutty crunch in every bite. Every department stores and souvenir shops have displays of these delicious pasalubongs.

Biko
A famous Filipino recipe and can be seen in almost all Filipino celebrations. It is made of glutinous rice, coconut milk, sugar (latik)


Bohol, never forget to taste some of the mouth delectations. And bring some as “pasalubong” for your loved ones who are not as lucky as you are. At least, let them taste Bohol.
