HISTORY OF DODOL
The exact origin of dodol is unclear, nevertheless, dodol shows its remarkable
diversity in the island of Java and Sumatra. In Javanese language it is
called jenang, while in Sundanese of West Java, Republic of Indonesia, it is
called "dodol" and where it is believed to have originated. The history of dodol
production is closely related to one of its main ingredients, gula aren or palm
sugar, a traditional sugar made from the sap of Arenga pinnata plant, and
also rice flour. It is a popular sweet treat and one of the oldest
indigenous sweets developed in the Maritime Southeast Asia.
In the Philippines, dodol must have been introduced before the spanish
colonizers arrived, through trading of goods in the islands of Sulu and
Mindanao.
