What is House of Polvoron?

House of Polvoron (HOP) is a polvoron specialty store proudly made in the Philippines. It is manufactured by MOTZ FOOD PRODUCTS (MFP), which has been making the best tasting polvoron (powdered milk candies) since 1988.

Brief History

MFP started making polvoron in 1988 when proprietors Medardo “Ding” Caliwara and Rosalinda "Rose" Caliwara realized the demand for their unique tasting pastry. They resigned from full time, 8 to 5 work to answer the call for enterpreneurship.

From its humble beginnings, the original 2-man staff organization has grown significantly through the years. It now provides employment and accommodation for its stay-in employees. The company currently holds office and houses its production in Sucat, Muntinlupa City, Philippines.

In 20 years of operation, MFP has increased its consumer base and is gradually gaining recognition for its great tasting polvoron in both domestic and international markets.
