The City of Carcar can be found at the southern part of Cebu. It is around two hours away from Cebu City. If you ride a bus, you would have an idea if the bus is nearing Carcar since the price of the chicharon sold by vendors boarding the bus would gradually go down.

Chicharon is made of pork rind that is boiled in water with spices and salt before it is cooked in hot oil. The chicharon-making industry in Carcar supposedly started in the 1900s when a couple started selling the delicacy after they discovered the delectable taste offered by pork rind boiled in oil.

What makes the chicharon taste more delicious is the meat inside of each pieces. The chicharon can be spicy or not, with vinegar or without vinegar. It can also be eaten with rice or regular meal too.

Chicharon sa Carcar is one delicacy no one could ever risist! Yes maybe some places offer these kind of pork crackling but swear, once taste always wanted! So, if you are going on a trip down south, do not forget to make Carcar one of your stopovers and bring this sinfully delightful delicacy with you. The chicharon from Carcar is also available in major supermarkets and groceries as well as pasalubong center in and around Metro Cebu.
