| A purée of fermented beans full of rich umami flavour. Our Fava Bean Umami Paste is particularly lively and we have had reports of it bubbling out of the jars in customers cupboards. This doesn’t affect the quality of the product and it tastes as delicious as normal but to prevent mess we suggest storing this straight in the fridge rather than the cupboard. |
Similar to a Japanese miso but made with British-grown fava beans, our fermented Fava Bean Umami Paste is packed with deep rich umami flavour with subtle notes of sherry.
Awarded two stars in the 2018 and 2019 Great Taste Awards, here are a few of the judges' comments:
Adds to stir fries, stews, soups, dressings, stocks and more for umami depth and fruity, sherry flavour. We’ve even been spreading it on toast!
Add about half a teaspoon per serving to almost any dish for added depth of flavour.
Keep refrigerated.

Our Fava Umami Paste is fermented in the same way as many soya bean ferments used for miso, black beans, soy sauce or tamari, but using fava beans instead of soy beans. It's made with just fava beans, water and salt, fermented with a live culture of Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Aspergillus sojae and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii.
Suitable for vegans.
175g packs are in recyclable glass jars with metal lids.
