Where our story begins
Southern Palawan, in the Philippines, is where the CÓCOES story begins. Our farmers tap coconut palms to collect a naturally sweet nectar. It’s an ingredient shaped by the land, the climate, and the people who carry its heritage forward with care. CÓCOES brings that goodness to your pantry for everyday cooking.
From the palms to your pantry
Along the way, people help grow, collect and transform the nectar into the products you bring home. Each step is part of the story behind what reaches your table.
The place. Our story starts among the coconut palms grown by Lionheart Farms in southern Palawan.
The flower. Nectar is collected from the unopened coconut flower, before the fruit begins to form.
Your kitchen. That nectar becomes an ingredient for adding sweetness, savoury depth and a little tang to everyday meals.
Meet the people behind CÓCOES
