Patis is a healthy alternative to and equally matches the use of ordinary table salt. Patis sauce has less of the ’salt’ but more of the flavor and aroma that makes favorite dishes even more tempting.

In 1949, Ruperta D. Javier, an enterprising housewife concocted a fish sauce (patis) and fish paste (bagoong) from the fish hauls in the part of Navotas. Aware of the delicious taste of her sauces and proud of it, she simply named both “Tentay” which was how she was popularly called.
Both sauces immediately captured the taste buds of food-loving Filipinos.
Half a century later, her nickname became a byword for sauces and the products that carry her name has then increased from just 2, to capture the tastebuds of millions of people around the world – flavoring dishes in 11 countries spanning 4 continents.
