GOCHUJANG
Gochujang is a Korean pantry classic – this fermented chili paste brings a smoky and slightly spicy kick to any dish.
Our premium gochujang uses organic chili powder from the Goesan region, which is then fermented with soybeans. The rice-fermentation technology harmonizes 60+ aromatic notes for a smooth, premium finish.
The result is a lush paste that Chef Esther loves to use in Korean BBQ marinades, soups, and more!
