Kaldereta meal pack
Rich, tangy, and slightly sweet, with a thick tomato-and-liver-based sauce.
Lens analyzedKaldereta is a Filipino beef or goat stew braised in a tomato-based sauce with liver spread, olives, and bell peppers, sold here as a ready-to-heat meal pack. The liver spread stirred into the sauce gives kaldereta its distinctive thick, slightly tangy richness.
Where it comes from
Kaldereta developed in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period, adapting the Spanish word for cauldron, caldera, into a dish built around Spanish-introduced ingredients like tomatoes and olives, then made distinctly Filipino with the addition of liver spread. It remains a common fiesta and celebration dish across the Philippines.
Buying it
Check the packaging date and look for a sauce that's thick and deep red-brown rather than watery, a sign of a properly reduced kaldereta base.
Storing it
Refrigerate the sealed pack and use within the printed window; reheat thoroughly on the stove or in the microwave until steaming.
Keeps about 5 days in the fridge.
