Black Lentil Miso 250 g

Description:

Our miso paste is a naturally fermented, unpasteurized condiment crafted from locally sourced legumes from Fieldstone Organics in Armstrong, BC. It begins with barley koji cultivated using Aspergillus luchensis, which is then nourished with black lentils to develop more complex enzymatic activity. The fermentation matures over at least one year, resulting in a rich, deep umami flavor. With a 6% salt content, this miso balances savory depth with a subtle hint of sweetness. Its smooth, layered profile makes it ideal for enriching soups, marinades, sauces, and a variety of other dishes.

Tasting Notes:

This miso offers a layered umami flavor with nutty, cereal-like undertones from the barley koji. The fermentation imparts depth and savory richness, complemented by a mild saltiness that enhances without overpowering. It has a slightly sweet, berry like pepperiness combined with a smooth, earthy, umami-rich finish, making it versatile for numerous culinary applications.

Suggested Uses:

• Classic miso soup

• Marinades for vegetables and meat

• Sauces and dressings

• Root vegetable or vegetable-based stews

• Flavoring in roasted or grilled dishes
