Clara Ole Potluck Foodfest: “Everyone Can Cook!”


MANILA, Philippines – Who has time to cook?  Let me rephrase that question; who has time to prepare a meal from scratch? With our full packed daily schedules, who has time to slice and dice ingredients to prep a dish for oneself or your family? More often than not, we are tempted to just go to our favorite fastfood restaurantor resort to the usual “instant” meals found in our pantry.

Find comfort that Clara Ole offers a wide array of convenient food solutions to help you whip up a healthy and delicious meal without taking up much time and space in the kitchen.

Last April 10 at the R-Space in Bel Air, Makati, Clara Ole has launched its Potluck Foodfest. Hosted by radio DJ Gelli Victor, the event was a food-filled afternoon that allowed guests to sample different dishes made with Clara Ole. More than just pasta sauces, Clara Ole also offered other delicious and healthy dishes made with their products such as dips n’ dressings, vinaigrettes, and marinades. For dessert, guests satisfied their sweet tooth with treats made with their syrups, jams, and jellies.
