Barrio Fiesta Regular Bagoong 250g

Barrio Fiesta Regular Bagoong, the authentic Filipino sauteed shrimp paste made with pure alamang

Bagoong is one of the most distinctive condiments in Filipino cooking, and Barrio Fiesta's Regular Bagoong is widely regarded as the original. Made with salted shrimp fry (alamang) at 47.44%, sauteed with coconut oil, vinegar, sugar, onion and garlic, it strikes that precise balance between salty, savoury and just a touch of sweetness that makes it so addictive. Originating from the Philippines and distributed across the UK by Carron Contracts Limited, this 250g jar is packed with the kind of deep, fermented umami that only a proper shrimp paste can deliver. Ready to use straight from the jar with no further preparation needed, it is as convenient as it is flavourful. Do note that white spots may occasionally appear on the surface due to the recrystallisation of salt and sugar during atmospheric changes. This is entirely normal and does not affect the quality of the product. Keep stored in a cool, dry place and refrigerate once opened.

How to use Bagoong in Filipino recipes, from kare-kare to pinakbet and beyond

Bagoong is most famously served alongside kare-kare, the rich peanut-based oxtail stew that depends on a spoonful of shrimp paste to round out its flavour. Simply spoon it straight from the jar as a dipping condiment at the table. It is equally at home paired with green mango or ensaladang mangga, where its saltiness cuts through the sharpness of the fruit beautifully. For cooked dishes, stir it through binagoongang baboy (pork braised in shrimp paste) or use it to season pinakbet, the Ilocano vegetable stew, adding depth that no other ingredient can replicate. It also works well as a flavour base in stir-fries, stirred through cooked rice or used as a topping over steamed vegetables. A little goes a long way, so the 250g jar lasts well when kept refrigerated after opening. Pair it with ingredients from our canned goods range or pick up everything you need for a full Filipino spread from our sauces and condiments aisle.
