Bicol
S tier
Bicol pili is the wider regional name for pili foods from the Bicol region of Luzon, the culinary capital of pili brittle, cakes, and roasted nuts. Flavour is buttery and delicate. A good Bicol pili product lists freshness and real nuts. A bad one is mostly sugar with token nuts. Eat as regional confectionery or bake with restraint so the fat does not oil out. Keep cool.
