Sorsogon Pili Nut X Maple Pie 🥧
At the heart of this pie is the pili nut. Indigenous to Philippines, Pili from Sorsogon — is a Filipino treasure, rare and delicate, deeply tied to Bicolano heritage. Harvesting Pili is very labor intensive careful work, which is why it’s prized and often quite expensive.
Its so common to find Pili nuts as pasalubongs. Jammed in a jar salted or caramelised. Our Head Barista Shelby is a proud Bicolana from Masbate, and has always spoken of how Pili Nuts are grown wild in Bicol and are the pride of Bicolanos, made into her favourite sweet, the classic small Pili Tart and caramelised brittle 😊
We have deshelled and roasted from raw pili, reveals a intense buttery, nutty depth that rivals cashew, macadamia and pistachio , but carries a flavor uniquely ours 🇵🇭 .
Brown butter adds caramelized richness, maple syrup brings smooth sweetness, a sprinkle of Asin Tibuok salt balances everything with a clean, mineral finish and a touch of Kalamansi Zest for brightness.
Supplies are extremely limited. Once these pili nuts are gone, they’re gone.
Who ate all the pies ? See you this Bank Holiday Weekend 😊✌️
