Romana De Vera was the Pangasinense who pioneered the creation of the original recipe for the peanut brittle, a confection made of broken pieces of different kinds of nuts. She started the business in 1958 and has since been managed by her sons and daughters in recent years. Her recipe remains the original despite many other manufacturers copying it. Local malls like SM and Robinsons are also known distributers of Romana’s peanut brittle.
