Smoked Chickpea Miso 250 g

Product Description:

Our miso paste is a naturally fermented, unpasteurized condiment crafted from locally sourced grains from Fieldstone Organics in Armstrong, BC. It begins with barley koji cultivated using Aspergillus luchensis, which is then nourished with chickpeas that have been smoked with Okanagan applewood to infuse a smoky depth. The fermentation matures for at least one year, resulting in a rich, layered umami flavor. With a 6% salt content, this miso balances savory richness with a hint of sweetness. Its smooth, complex profile makes it ideal for enhancing soups, marinades, sauces, and a variety of dishes.

Tasting Notes:

This miso offers a layered umami flavor with nutty, cereal-like undertones from the barley koji. The smoked chickpeas contribute a subtle smoky note, adding warmth and depth to the savory profile. The fermentation imparts complexity and a slight earthiness, balanced by a mild saltiness. The result is a versatile, smoky umami paste suitable for many culinary applications.

Suggested Uses:

• Classic miso soup

• Marinades for vegetables and meats

• Sauces and dressings

• Root vegetable or vegetable-based stews

• Flavoring in roasted or grilled dishes
