Kesong Puti Festival: Celebrating Santa Cruz, Laguna’s Culinary Heritage
Santa Cruz, a first-class urban municipality and the capital of Laguna province in the Philippines, is a place where tradition, culture, and culinary delights converge. At its heart lies a beloved breakfast staple: kesong puti, or white cheese, made from the rich milk of carabaos, or water buffaloes. Produced predominantly in Sta. Cruz, this creamy delight is cherished by locals and visitors alike, especially during the annual Kesong Puti Festival.
