Natural flavors such as pandan, lemongrass, jackfruit, squash, carrots, horse radish, peanuts, and cookies and cream may be added.

The mass of pastillas are then cooled and formed into bite-sized pieces before they are individually packed in paper and cellophane sheets.

Brief descriPtion

A technology handed down through generations

imPortance of tHe tecHnology

Initially, home-made by farmers rearing carabaos, the pastillas de leche was then developed into small-scale industry, such as in San Miguel, Bulacan Can be a source of livelihood in areas with vast supply of carabaos milk Use only good quality milk

conditional factors in tecHnology aPPlication

Use only low to medium heat when cooking

Relatively short shelf life if kept at room temperature. For longer shelf life, keep refrigerated.
