Datu Puti Vinegar 1L

Datu Puti White Vinegar, the Philippines' leading cane vinegar with a sharp and clean nuot-asim taste

Datu Puti is the undisputed leading vinegar brand in the Philippines, and this 1L bottle of white cane vinegar is the version most Filipino households reach for first. Known locally as sukang maasim, it is made from fermented sugar cane juice and carries a bright, sharp, clean acidity that is both fresh and distinctive. The product page describes its characteristic flavour as nuot-asim, meaning a strong yet smooth sourness that cuts through fatty or rich ingredients without being harsh. Unlike malt vinegar, it has no heavy colour or caramel notes, and while it shares some character with rice vinegar, it is slightly bolder and more pronounced in flavour. With just two ingredients, cane vinegar and water, it is a naturally simple condiment with no unnecessary additives. Suitable for vegetarians, it is a genuine Filipino pantry staple that works across a wide range of dishes. Find it alongside other Filipino grocery and condiment essentials or browse the full Asian sauces and vinegars range for more cooking staples.

How to use Datu Puti Vinegar for Filipino cooking, dipping, and food preparation

Datu Puti Vinegar is ready to use straight from the bottle with no preparation required. It has a wide range of uses in the Filipino kitchen. For marinades, it adds the acidic base needed to tenderise meat and brighten flavour. For dipping, it is the classic partner to fried or grilled food, particularly alongside Datu Puti Soy Sauce. The product page shares a straightforward dipping sauce method: finely chop chilli, garlic, and onion, then combine with the vinegar, add ground pepper, soy sauce, and a little sugar to make a hot, spicy, tangy sauce. Serve it with deep-fried prawns or slices of grilled pork for an easy Filipino meal. Beyond dipping, it is also used to rinse meat or fish before cooking to remove odours, and can be mixed with curry powders to form a curry paste base.
