Many equate the brand Datu Puti as another term for cane vinegar. This is how popular the brand is. But contrary to common notion, Datu Puti is not limited to cane vinegar, as it also offers soy sauce. However, the Datu Puti soy sauce has to compete with a more popular brand, Silver Swan. The latter is the leading soy sauce brand in the Philippines.

Product Review:

The popularity of the product in the country speaks for itself. It is a staple in many Filipino homes because most of the country’s favorite dishes need the touch of sourness that Datu Puti can give. It remains undisputed in the realm of cane vinegar production.

The Datu Puti Soy Sauce should not be underestimated. It is slowly improving its market share. Thanks to intensive and effective advertising efforts of the manufacturers. Since it is a product of Datu Puti, consumers are confident of its quality. With more marketing efforts, the soy sauce could nab the number one spot from Silver Swan.

Both products are key ingredients to many Filipino recipes like adobo, kinilaw and paksiw. The sourness of the Datu Puti vinegar and the salty yet sweet combination of the Datu Puti soy sauce makes the above-mentioned dishes more enticing. The two, mixed together is also a popular dip in the country for grilled fish, pork, beef and just about anything. Filipinos love eating with the vinegar and soy sauce mixture because it makes the food more flavorful.

The Datu Puti vinegar reigns as the best sugar cane vinegar in the country. Datu Puti soy sauce, on the other hand needs to exert more efforts. It would be very difficult to move past the shadows of Silver Swan since there is no distinct difference in terms of taste. It can, however, leverage from the popularity of the vinegar and presents itself as a perfect pair for flavoring Filipino foods.
