Origin history
Like many cultures based in warm climates, Filipino natives developed various methods of preserving
food. Adobo utilizes the acid in the vinegar and the high salt content of soy sauce to produce an
undesirable environment for bacteria. Its delicious flavor and preserving qualities served to increase
adobo's popularity. The adobo was traditionally cooked in clay pots but today is made in more common
metal pots or woks.When the Spanish invaded and settled in the Philippines during the 16th century,
they witnessed this traditional Filipino cooking method and called it adobo, which is the Spanish word
for marinade.
