Filipino Cuisine History
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008More than 300 years ago, long before Spanish conquistadores staggered down their ships to kiss the shores of the islands, Filipinos were rowing out to sea in their little bancas, wading knee-deep in rice paddies, planting in their backyards and hunting in the woods. Whatever they gathered and caught they simply roasted, boiled or broiled over an open fire. The forests were abundant and the surrounding waters teeming with life; the Filipinos’ idea of food included everything nature had to offer. Preferably seafood. Preferably fresh. Squirming, leaping, crawling-out-of-the-cooking-pot fresh.
Foreign trade during those times was healthy and a good deal less complicated than today. The Malaysians, Indonesians, Arabians, Indians, and Chinese brought all sorts of spices and food plants to the islands. Some of them stayed and raised families here, and handed down cooking methods which the natives used to improve their own methods.
Boca Java
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008Boca Java was founded out of the simple pursuit of the perfect cup of gourmet coffee.
It starts with our innovative roast-to-order process. Coffee is considered “Roaster Fresh” for approximately 45 days after roasting. To ensure you get the best cup of coffee, we don’t start roasting until you order. We also label each bag with the date your coffee was roasted on or “born”. Each bag has a certificate showing when the coffee was “born”.
