Bagoong Ginisang Sweet

Introduce your taste buds to one of the most beloved flavor enhancers in Filipino cuisine: Barrio Fiesta Ginisang Bagoong Sweet. This smooth, sautéed shrimp paste (bagoong) is slowly cooked with aromatic spices and a touch of sugar, creating a rich, savory umami flavor with a pleasantly sweet undertone.

This sweet variant is perfect for those looking for a milder and more approachable version of the classic bagoong. It’s a flavorful companion to many dishes — from traditional kare-kare (Filipino peanut stew) to fried fish, grilled vegetables, or as a dip for green mangoes. It also shines in modern fusion recipes, such as bagoong fried rice, pasta with an Asian twist, or even as a spread on a cheesy grilled sandwich.

Barrio Fiesta, a well-known brand in the Philippines, has been delivering authentic, high-quality flavors for years. Their Ginisang Bagoong is crafted and packaged with care, ensuring you get the true Filipino experience — no matter where you are.

Production process

The production process of the opaque variant consists of raw shrimp being ground (usually first), after which it is mixed with salt (and sometimes sugar). It is then allowed to ferment for some time. During or after the fermentation period, it is dried in the sun. Most Indonesian and Malaysian shrimp pastes are then compressed into cakes and possibly further dried. With the Chinese and Thai shrimp pastes, the dried cakes are first ground before they are sold. In the transparent variant, finely ground shrimp are first mixed with salt, sugar, and flour, after which it is fermented into a paste. This syrupy, transparent variant is of course not dried.

Both variants can best be stored in a well-sealed jar (glass or PET). Traditional shrimp pastes have a long shelf life due to their high salt content. They can be stored very well at room temperature because they were developed in tropical countries where, for modern times, refrigerators were of course not available.
