Our Story
The company now recognized as Ramar Foods had its beginnings as Orientex back in 1969. Our founder, Maria Quesada, initially offered imported furniture and jewelry to fellow Filipinos in search of goods from the Philippines. However, as she saw the burgeoning Filipino community in California, she recognized the need to provide authentic Filipino meats. Her journey began with Sweet Pork Longanisa under the Orientex brand.
Today, Orientex proudly offers a diverse selection of Filipino breakfast meats and lumpia, gaining recognition in both major and independent Asian markets. As the matriarch among Ramar’s brands, our aim is to bring the cherished flavors reminiscent of your Lola’s cooking straight into your home. We’re committed to preserving the culinary traditions that have warmed the hearts of generations, delivering the taste of home with every meal.
