A purée of fermented beans full of rich umami flavour. Our Fava Bean Umami Paste is unpasteurised and will continue to naturally ferment. On occasion, especially in warm conditions, it can get quite lively and bubble out of its jar. This doesn’t affect the quality of the product but we recommend storing in the fridge to slow down the fermentation and avoid any spillage. 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: "We love the umami depth of flavour, its complexity and persistence." "Deep, satisfying umami flavours that burst with fizzy fermentation, complex soy like flavour with a natural sweetness that is really harmonious and delicious." "A fabulously aromatic miso paste, how brilliant that this is made from British-grown fava beans." "Brilliant in a variety of dishes and genuinely versatile." "A brilliant fridge staple."
