Traditional Gochujang, Natural Ingredients

[Jook Jang Yeon] Premium Gochujang

Jook Jang Yeon is a famous artisan brand for traditional-style doenjang and gochujang.

Their products are sold at department stores in Korea, becoming very popular as food gifts during the Holidays.

Today, we offer Jook Jang Yeon’s Premium Gochujang Paste.

This premium gochujang is made with 5 natural ingredients:

- Gochugaru (27%), Rice Syrup (27%), Glutinous Rice Powder (25%), Malt Syrup (15%), Sea Salt (6%)

It does not contain any added sugar.

Rather, as the gochujang sits and ferments over months, the glutinous rice is naturally converted to sugars, giving the paste its underlying sweetness.

And unlike cheaper gochujang, this artisan brand does not contain any additives, preservatives or MSG.

This premium gochujang is slowly fermented the traditional Korean way - at least 6 months in large, earthenware pots that are kept outdoors.

The result is a thick and earthy-spice, with deep flavor and lingering heat.

Use a few spoonfuls to add depth to all kinds of dishes, from stews and braise to marinades and sauces.

Available in 250g or 500g jar.
