CARASI

The chosen OTOP project of this municipality is Duhat Wine to make use of duhat fruits that are left rotting under the trees during the season. This wine is reddish color packed in frosted 350-ml bottles. The Duhat contains components that needed to make a good quality of wines. In iloco duhat is called "lomboy" it is very known in the rural places, especially places near the mountains. It is like a grapes, their difference is that duhat have bigger seed compare to grapes. It is seasonal because it only bear fruits during summer. I interviewed one of the residence named Ms. Nerizza Gudayan, about the information cited above, but the store that sell this wine is close that's why i don't have the chance to take a picture of it. and their tribe is far from the stores.
