Versatile Culinary Integration
Our clean declaration Fava bean paste formulation means there is no need for the use of artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. Use this savoury product in the same way you would use your standard soy-based miso, without worrying about allergens. We’ve designed this product to easily fit into your standard miso recipes. With an earthy complex umami flavour, this savoury paste is ideal for use as natural flavour booster.
GLAZES AND FINISHING SAUCES
Chefs can use this puree to create rich, dark glazes for roasted meats, fish, or root vegetables, giving a complex, savoury depth similar to traditional miso. Its natural dark brown colour can replace artificial dyes while offering a unique umami boost for plant-based dishes.
SOUP BASES AND BROTHS
Our Fava puree serves as an excellent base for vegetarian or vegan soups, as it provides a salty, fermented richness that mimics the taste of meat stocks without the allergens. Created by our founder in the early 2000s, our Fava bean simplifies your inventory by serving as a dual-purpose seasoning and thickener.
MARINADES AND DRESSINGS
Our paste’s thick texture allows it to emulsify oils and create creamy, flavourful marinades for tofu or seitan without using dairy. Use this ingredient to create high-quality vegan options that offer a “meaty” flavour profile and improved mouthfeel.
