Why is it called Single Origin Premium Muscovado?
The cane used in our Muscovado Gold Sugar is grown exclusively from Hacienda Elsa, a 24-hectar sugar plantation exclusively for Muscovado, that has been planted to sugar even before 1907, when the plantation was purchased by its present owners. The mill is sited in one of the oldest Muscovado Mills in Negros Occidental, the heartland of the sugar industry in the Philippines. The Hacienda Elsa plantation is home to one of the most fertile volcanic soils suitable for sugar cane culture..
How is it produced?
Our Muscovado Gold is All Natural. Being entirely hand-processed and artisanal, there are no centrifugal machines used in the processing of Muscovado Gold. After a selection of the finest canes available, the sugarcane juice is extracted through a crusher and is filtered through out the process by using a stainless slotted spade. It is subjected to continued boiling at an event temperature, in a series of stainless steel vats, manually fired from a brick lined, organically fuelled furnace found underneath the vats. Dried organic bagasse (or left over fiber from crushed sugar cane) is fed into the furnace found underneath the vats by a skilled FUGONERO who sees to it that bagasse is fed regularly into the furnace to maintain a constant firing temperature.
The resulting filtered juices, through constant boiling and regular stirring over a period of time, will thicken into a syrup-like consistency and will then be poured onto a cooking trough and stirred again by hand using a stainless steel spades until it turns into fine powder.
Who is Maestro and What is his role?
Each step of the process is meticulously overseen by our expert artisan called the Maestro. His masterful surveillance and attention to detail: from Boiling to the pouring of the syrup into the cooling trough and regularly stirring until it cools and turns into fine powder, is what makes our muscovado the authentic, healthy, all-natural, hand-processed, artisanal, and premium Muscovado Gold that is our contribution to the world.

The Heritage of Hacienda Elsa
When Baldomero Dela Rama acquired the plantation in 1907 it was already planted with sugar. The purchase of the plantation came 47 karos and carabaos and a steam engine with a tall chimney that still stands today. This shows that muscovado was already being produced during that time.
Nicolas Loney British vice consul in the 1860's, the father of sugar industry in Negros, says that the soil in Negros is most ideal for the cultivation of sugar because it's volcanic. His plantation sits right beside Hacienda Elsa, only separated by a river. BMMMC aims to revive the authentic production of muscovado and hopefully bring it back to it's golden age.
