At a recent “Dine with Clara Olé” event held at Brutal by Wadoughs, celebrity chef and long-time collaborator Wado Siman wowed guests with a five-course feast made almost entirely from Clara Olé’s ready-to-use pasta sauces, marinades, dips, and spreads. The result? Restaurant-worthy dishes, minus the fuss.

The culinary journey opened with Black Tide, a bold starter of squid, feta, and fried pasta brought to life with Clara Olé’s Pasta Negra sauce and vinaigrette. Next came Not Takoyaki—crisp panipuri shells filled with salmon flakes and mashed potato, amped up with Dip It Good Cheddar Cheese and Crab Flavor Sauce.

The mains were equally inventive:

  • Duckgalbi Assassina – Tomato-based pasta topped with glazed duck breast, infused with Kung Pao Pasta Sauce, Chunky Tomato with Basil Sauce, and Hickory BBQ Marinade.
  • Beef Inasal – Tender beef skewers with adlai coconut rice, elevated by Asian Dips N’ Dressings and Inasal BBQ Marinade.

For dessert, guests were treated to Peach Mango Nitro—Clara Olé’s Peach Mango Spread transformed into nitrogen gelato, crowned with blast-frozen marshmallows and puff pastry.

“Cooking gourmet doesn’t have to be intimidating,” shared Chef Wado. “Clara Olé makes it possible for anyone to create exciting, flavorful dishes at home, even when pressed for time.”

According to Esfrey Sia, Brand Manager, “Whether cooking for yourself or hosting a celebration, Clara Olé is all you need to make meals special.” Marketing Manager Cerma De Jesus adds, “Easy gourmet cooking not only satisfies cravings but also strengthens family bonds.”

Since its founding in 1987 by Ruben and Clara Sysu, Clara Olé has evolved from a small line of jams to an extensive selection of pasta sauces, marinades, dips, dressings, jams, syrups, and more—each designed to spark creativity in the kitchen.
