[Kisoondo] Traditional Gochujang


Today, we introduce one of our best-selling, artisan-made Gochujang!

This is Kisoondo's Traditional Gochujang.

Unlike factory-made gochujang, this paste is made with only natural ingredients:

Full Ingredients List: Glutinous Rice (35%), Gochugaru (25%), Meju Powder (20%), Raosted Bamboo Salt (10%), Soy Sauce (5%), Malt Barley (5%)

In Spring, barley is harvested and malted. In Summer, soybean and glutinous rice are fermented and turned into meju powder. In Winter, all of the ingredients are brought together, and mixed with gochugaru.

The gochujang is then left to rest and ferment in large Korean Hanggari pots for 6 months. 

The dedication to each ingredient is Kisoondo's secret to making one of Korea's best gochujang!

This gochujang has a deep, piquant spice with a slightly-earthy sweetness.

It contains no preservatives, additives, refined sugar or MSG.

If you want to try an all-natural, traditional Gochujang, this is it!

Available in 3 sizes: 230g, 320g & 500g

Worth the price

I don't live in an area where gochujang is easily available so I usually buy whatever brand I can get my hands on. I got a jar of this (along with the strawberry flavor) for my birthday and it is SO good! Nice level of spice, great depth of flavor, works for all the usual uses. My new favorite is to spread on toast with avocado and sesame seeds. Will definitely buy again!

Thoroughly enjoying this Gochujang

As an epicure and a firm believer in healthy food including naturally fermented foods, I searched for a long time to find a traditional gochujang that is free from chemicals, additives, etc.

Coincidentally, I found Kisoondo Traditional online and so wished I could find it in Canada! However, no luck. That’s how I eventually decided to order it directly from South Korea.

I am absolutely delighted with this gochujang. It feels so pure and has a wonderful umami taste with a little kick of spiciness which we love!

The only thing I wish for that even the smaller size would be available in a glass jar instead of plastic.

Thank you for preserving the traditional method of making gochujang and I hope one day your products will be easily available around the world!

Frequently Used Favorite

When we first started using gochujang we purchased from a local grocery store (US) and didn't pay any attention to the fact it was made in China. When we read, and started making recipes from, Joanne Lee Molinaro's book Korean Vegan, did we learn about the Korean made gochujang and her preference for it. So we bought it and WOW what a difference. It was a game changer for sure. The flavor profile is much more complex, earthy, and flavorsome. We found the Kisoondo gochujang on Amazon but they have been out so I ordered direct from Gochujar. Order processing was fast and the note that came with it from Daniel and team was the best part and made my day (I kept the note). I can't say enough things about Kisoondo quality and Korean gochujang overall - the best! We make a gochujang marinade on repeat for gochujang tofu with pan fried green onions, nuts, and rice - it's my Happy Meal.
