Sometimes, the most remarkable creations are born from the most 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 formal technique, and no grand plan. What I did have was a deep love for bold flavors that remind me of home — and an unshakable curiosity to create something special.

​

In my small kitchen in Seattle, I began experimenting — garlic, chili, and oil dancing together under the scent of heat and hope. Guided only by instinct and determination, I crafted batch after batch, refining with every try, learning with every mistake, and pouring my heart into every jar. I didn’t realize it then, but I was building something far greater than a condiment — I was crafting ORAGON.

 

Amid the stillness of the pandemic, when the world seemed to stand still, I found movement in creation. While others found peace in baking or gardening, I found mine in fire — the kind that ignites in every drop of ORAGON Sili Garlic Oil. That moment of discovery transformed everything.

​

“Oragon” is more than just a name — it’s a word from my roots in the Bicol region of the Philippines. It means brave, fearless, and passionate — someone who perseveres no matter the odds. That spirit burns at the core of everything I make.

​

To me, ORAGON Sili Garlic Oil isn’t just food; it’s a testament to perseverance, pride, and Filipino strength. It tells the story of beginning from nothing, embracing failure as fuel, and turning a simple act of creation into something meaningful.

​

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

​

When I’m not at the stove, 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, even the simplest things can become something extraordinary. 🔥🧄❤️
