The Filipino sausage, otherwise known as longganisa, is a beloved comfort food that can be enjoyed any time of the day with rice and fried egg. It is also an ingredient used in other local dishes such as pancit, lumpia, and empanada. More often than not, longganisa is a gift or pasalubong any Filipino food lover would be happy to receive. Here are some of our favorite food purveyors that have made sure the cherished delicacy is not only securely packed but also gift-ready.


Probinsyana

This online shop is the brainchild of two best friends who decided to curate their favorite pasalubong from different provinces with kindred spirits in mind who have a hankering for local delicacies. They offer frozen packs of salty and garlicky Lucban longganisa, as well as bottled Sta. Cruz and Picante longganisas that are skinless and ready to be scooped up with crusty bread or melba toast.


Que Rica

Bicolano food has come out of relative obscurity thanks mostly to this homegrown brand from Rica Buenaflor. Her unique lineup of Bicol-themed fresh sausages such as the Bicol Express or Laing longganisa is a treat for longsilog lovers looking for something new to try.


Same Old Chori

Yes, this is the sweet chori burger of your youth as you plowed the white sands of Boracay after a night of partying looking for a fatty, calorific snack. This Bacolod-based brand is now in Metro Manila offering these Negrense-style hamonado (sweet) chorizos already sliced and skewered, then frozen and vacuum packed, plus a couple of tubs of that signature glaze.


Ereñeta-Manaloto Chorizo

Their Bacolod chorizo is a family recipe that can be traced back to the 1930s developed by two sisters. The recipe has been passed down to their kin and their distinct blend of recado (spicy/garlicky) and hamonado (sweet) longganisa can now be enjoyed by food lovers in the capital and beyond.


Alaminos Longganisa

Probably one of the most beloved recado (spicy) longganisas and made distinct by the straws separating each link, it made quite an impact in the markets of Pangasinan as long strands of sausages were bundled together hanging on hooks. This QC-based online store was born during the pandemic and is loved for their fresh Alaminos-style longganisa that uses only organic pork and is sold in reusable plastic containers.
