New Bacolod Pasalubong Products
While we still have our traditions and old-time favorites, Bacolod City, the capital of Negros Occidental in southern PHILIPPINES, has many different products that you can try. Moreover, we have found ways to extend the lifespan of our products so that you can bring them back home and not worry about shelf life.

We have gone a long way in terms of our Bacolod pasalubong industry. New items have been introduced, as enterprising businessmen do not stop developing new products for different tastes. They have been coming up with delicacies that can stay longer on the shelves and most especially, can withstand handling and cargo.

Cheese Tarts from Merzci Pasalubong
In our family, it is not just our favorite pasalubong item from Bacolod to bring to family and friends. It’s one of our favorite snacks at home, too! Despite being very lenient with our sweet tooth, sometimes, we also want to eat something else. We like having a variety of tastes and new textures or a new flavor with a hint of something.
Made with a cheese base, this tart is unlike any other of the sweet tarts at Merzci Pasalubong. It has a sweet-salty taste so it’s not cloying. The toasted cheese mixture is cupped in a crispy pastry and topped with a dab of meringue.

It’s pretty good and affordable, too. It is nice to stock up on the cheese tarts at home as comfort food and also as kids’ snacks (I) for school.
So if you are here for the MassKara Festival or any event, drop by any of the Merzci Pasalubong branches and sample their cheese tarts. Then tell me what you think in the comments below.

They say everything tastes better with cheese. But not sure how they’d better these. These cheese tarts from Merzci Pasalubong look and sound amazing. Yum yum yum I also want to try other Bacolod pasalubong products.
The first photo is more correct in terms of the color than the second one. I’d like to know the ingredients though. I feel like cheese powder was used for the flavor.
