Products of Guimaras
Trappist Giftshop: Trappist Monastic Products
Trappist Gift Shop is a small air-conditioned store where monks sell gift/"pasalubong" items like souvenir t-shirts, native bags, decors and delicacies processed from fruit harvests of the monks' own orchard. Revenue of the gift shop help sustain the Trappist Monastery's activities.
What to buy: Fruits harvested from their orchard are processed into dried chips, juices, jellies, jams, cookies, bars, breads and piayas. I personally recommend that you buy plenty of mango bars and dried mango chips.
Dried mango chips have bigger slices and better taste than those made in Cebu, and their mango bars are really yummy. My grandson could finish one pack of mango bars in one sitting, no exaggeration.
Here are mango shakes and
waffles.
The most defining product of Guimaras Province is it's sweet-tasting mango.
Mango Ketchup
