Company Profile

R.P. Ocampo’s Fine Food is a single proprietorship established in 1999, which was recently incorporated into RPO Fine Foods Corporation, is engaged in the processing of nuts – with peanuts as the main and original product.

Our company was the first to commercially introduce to the market peanuts loaded with garlic chips under the brand name Wow Mani (Peanuts with Crispy Garlic Chips). Since then, it has added more products under the brands of Wow Kasoy (Cashew Nuts with Crispy Garlic Chips) and Wow Bawang (Crispy Garlic Chips). It has gained a lot of patronage in the province of Pampanga and neighboring provinces in Central Luzon in just a few years after it was established. Through word of mouth, its market has now expanded to Metro Manila and the whole country. R.P. Ocampo’s Fine Foods Products are now available in leading supermarkets like Rustan’s, SM, Landmark and Puregold among others.

It has also increased popularity among balik-bayans and has started exporting to Canada in October 2010 and the United States in October of the following year. In 2012, it also began exporting to Australia and the Middle East.

The company produces 12 tons of combined products per month but with its newly constructed production facility, it is capable of producing 30 tons per month and is still very much capable of expansion to meet future requirements.

RPO Fine Foods Corporation’s mission is commitment to customer satisfaction – to produce high quality and good tasting products consistently; to give our customers best value for money and to be the forefront of product development.

Our vision is that we would like to be able to build and establish our brand not only in the Philippines but as well as in the international market.

How It All Began

It all started way back in December 1996, when my husband had a driver in his company that has a family who cooks and sells fried peanuts in a cart in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga. My husband would order a kilo of fried peanuts and ask for an additional bunch of garlic to be mixed along with the regular ingredients. In spite of that, he and I were not satisfied because of too much oil and salt they put in the mix. Having ordered a couple of times, we noticed the inconsistency in the way peanuts were cooked. One time still a bit raw and one time overcooked. Anyway, we cannot expect much from them being used to their own way of cooking.

So, one day I decided to cook the peanuts myself without much our and salt in the mix. I also decided to put lots of garlic chips instead of the few cracked garlic. Being a good cook, the trial did quite well the first time. With a few kilos of peanuts cooked one after the other, I was able to discover the right ingredients and perfect the way of cooking. Thus, born the special garlic peanuts, everybody now knows as “Wow Mani.”

The first time I brought peanuts along with us during our family gathering, the comments were quite satisfactory. Then a friend heard about it and ordered a jar-full of peanuts. With a few more practice, it was offered to Essel Supermarket as the first outlet. From then on, one outlet became many, through word of mouth it came to what it is today, probably the best tasting garlic peanut ever!
