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.
Now packed in recyclable glass jar with metal lid.
Packs a punch of flavour. I use it to enrich stews, in place of stock etc.
I bought a smal jar at the local organic market and was very surprised and instant hooked! Deep rich taste and nice colouring too. We’ve been secretly smearing it on our savory sandwiches, our son of 6 loves it too :). Works perfectly with sourdough!! Hope you’ll be delivering to the NL…?
Delicios flavour
Very useful. I have replaced miso with this fava bean paste in my cooking. Different but similar . Just a spoonful lifts many a dish
This really is delicious. There are definite sherry flavours. I like miso but I love this.

Really like this dish, great flavour and some real substance to it!
Fantastic grain for making risotto's and stews creates a really great creamy texture during cooking without the addition of dairy (although the addition of dairy elevates everything!) They don't overcook unlike rice so its almost a foolproof alternative, the end results are a moreish bite to the cooked grain.
Super healthy snack and you don't miss the salt at all because they are so tasty!
The Brazil nuts are tasty, and knowing their sale supports a small local community, makes them even more appealing. The large bags last some time, as eating a few each is sufficient for our nutritional needs.
