68-year old "Pantoja Bakery" Jacobina

Jacobinas are Filipino biscuits. They are distinctively cubical in shape, resembling a thicker galletas de patatas . The square biscuit was first produced by the Noceda Bakery in 1947 at 78 Gen. Luna Street, Mendez, Cavite by Paterno Noceda, and JACOBINA was registered with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines in 1955. In 1975, La Noceda Food Products, Inc. was incorporated to produce the famous biscuits. The biscuits are sold by the Noceda bakery in the Philippines and by the Jacobina corporation in the United States and other Asian countries. Jacobinas are traditionally eaten paired with coffee for breakfast. [1] [2] [3]

In 1950, the famous Jacobina had also been baked by the original 68-year old Panaderia Pantojay. Celinda Laurel Dimayuga (Tanauan) and Aurelio Maningat Pantoja (Balayan) used a "pugon" (clay brick oven). Spouses Arturo Dimayuga Pantoia and Marilyn Gonzales managed the bakery and mechanized it in 1970. Located in Sixto Castillo Street, Barangay Poblacion 2, Tanauan, Batangas, the heritage bakery is famous for its square and crisp Jacobina crafted from paper-thin sheets of dough. [4] [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mexican breads</span>

Mexican breads and other baked goods are the result of centuries of experimentation and the blending of influence from various European baking traditions. Wheat, and bread baked from it, was introduced by the Spanish at the time of the Conquest. The French influence in Mexican Bread is the strongest. From the bolillo evolving from a French baguette to the concha branching out from a French brioche even the terminology comes from France. A baño maría, meaning a water bath for a custard type budín or bread pudding comes from the French word bain marie. While the consumption of wheat has never surpassed that of corn in the country, wheat is still a staple food and an important part of everyday and special rituals. While Mexico has adopted various bread styles from Europe and the United States, most of the hundreds of varieties of breads made in the country were developed here. However, there is little to no baking done in Mexican homes; instead, Mexicans have bought their baked goods from bakeries since the colonial period.
