Versatile Culinary Integration
Our clean declaration Fava bean paste formulation means there is no need for the use of artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. This is fermented fava bean paste with a rich, earthy, and complex umami profile. Developed as a soy-free alternative to traditional fermented soy pastes, it provides savoury depth and body across various food manufacturing and foodservice applications.
Its thick, versatile consistency allows direct incorporation into existing recipes and formulations. Its naturally dark colour enhances the finished product’s appearance without artificial colours.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
This paste is ideal for sauces, marinades, glazes, soups, prepared foods, and plant-based formulations. It delivers fermented umami and savoury depth, while its natural viscosity enhances body and mouthfeel.
Its robust flavour profile is well suited for recipes that require a deeper, more developed savoury character, including meat-free and plant-based products.
SOY-FREE APPLICATIONS
Suitable for applications requiring a fermented paste without soy-based ingredients. This gives manufacturers flexibility to develop soy-free alternatives to conventional miso-style and other fermented paste formulations while retaining a rich, savoury umami profile.
