In the late 1960’s, the city government passed an ordinance that poultry businesses were to be set outside the city. And so, as an existing family business that time, the live ones were then sold as dressed chicken and later some were processed into Chicken Hams. With the same recipe, Pork Hams were also processed.
In the late 1970’s, spouses Cesar Gabor Malferrari and Amalia Arellano De Castro, established a Ham business named: PINE. A name you could easily remember and a name that would bring fond memories of the holidays. So everytime you see a PINE tree, you think of PINE Foods, and everytime you smell the holiday season, think of eating PINE Hams. And everytime you feel like giving the best, especially on the Holidays, insist on PINE Hams and other food products. PINE Hams and other processed meat products are now exclusively manufactured by TGO Foods by spouses Teddy A. Obsina and Gina Malferrari-Obsina.
METHOD OF CURING:
We process our hams by pickling, salting, and smoking. Every process is done with care and supervision. As a result, our way of processing does not rely on mere flavorings but rather on the way it is processed. Every bit of ingredient is gathered and selected that it may reach your taste: GENUINELY.
METHOD OF COOKING:
Our Hams are cooked and ready to eat. CLASSIC Hams are those cooked in pineapple juice and other spices after the smoking procedure. This is for the Classic Bone-in hams, Sliced Boneless Hams, and Chicken Ham. COOKED in the SMOKEHOUSE are bone-in hams that are cooked thoroughly in smoking process for a few days. This comes slightly saltier than the Classic Hams. SWEET Hams are grounded pork mixed with spices and with smoke ham bits, stuffed, and cooked in boiling procedure.
