Sometimes, the best creations come from unexpected beginnings. For me, it all started with a simple favor from a friend — she asked me to make her some chili oil. I had no recipe, no proper technique, and no plan. All I had was curiosity, creativity, and a love for bold flavors that remind me of home.

​

In my small kitchen in Seattle, I began experimenting — mixing garlic, chili, and oil, guided only by instinct and determination. Batch after batch, I learned, improved, and poured my heart into every jar. I didn’t know it then, but I was creating something special — something that would soon carry the name ORAGON.

​

During the quiet and uncertain days of the pandemic, when the world seemed to stop, I found purpose in my craft. While others found comfort in baking or gardening, I found mine in fire — the kind that burns in every jar of ORAGON Sili Garlic Oil. That’s when it all came together perfectly.

​

“Oragon” is a word from my roots in the Bicol region of the Philippines. It means brave, fearless, and passionate — someone who never gives up, no matter how tough life gets. That’s the spirit behind every drop of this oil.

​

For me, ORAGON Sili Garlic Oil isn’t just food — it’s a symbol of perseverance, pride, and Filipino strength. It represents the courage to start from nothing, to keep going through failures, and to turn a simple idea into something meaningful.

​

Today, when I’m not cooking, I’m creating — because this has become more than a hobby. It’s my way of sharing love, heat, and hope with the world.

​

If I don’t cook, I make ORAGON Sili Garlic Oil.
Because this is more than spice — it’s a story of heart, heritage, and hard work.

 

It’s proof that with passion and courage, you can turn even the simplest things into something extraordinary. 🔥🧄❤️
