About Ascona
“Ascona International Corp.” is based and registered in Manila, Philippines and is
sourcing its products from suppliers in Asia and Europe as well as locally from the
Philippines.
We serve culinary and retail clients (Hotels, Resorts, Restaurants, Airline Catering, and Industrial Food Manufacturing Companies).
Trading goods consist of mainly but not limited to — frozen Asian breads, snacks and buns, IQF fruits and vegetables and ready to bake bread and pastries.
Ascona’s Founding Partners and Senior Management Team are closely connected to the culinary industry and food professionals across hotels, retail, and industrial food manufacturing. This deep-rooted connection allows us to truly understand their needs, demands, and expectations — especially when it comes to product quality and variety.
100% of our product range is Halal Certified, enabling us to serve a wider client base — particularly in the southern regions of the country. Our products are also suitable for vegetarians and vegans, ensuring inclusivity for diverse dietary requirements.
We proudly offer Kawan-branded Asian Specialty Breads, Buns, and Snacks — known for their authentic taste and premium quality in the frozen food category. These products are 100% HALAL, making them ideal for a broad range of consumers.
One of our core specialties lies in sourcing and distributing IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) fruits and vegetables. These products are not only convenient but also nutritionally superior in many ways.
Unlike “fresh” supermarket produce — which often travels long distances and sits on shelves for days — IQF fruits and vegetables are harvested at peak ripeness, processed immediately, and rapidly frozen using blast freezing technology. This locks in nutrients within minutes and maintains freshness without preservatives.
From professional kitchens to industrial food producers, frozen fruits and vegetables offer unmatched convenience and consistent quality. They reduce prep time, minimize waste, and ensure ingredient availability year-round — making them the preferred choice for culinary professionals.
