Extended Information
Chickpea miso offers a softer, more rounded flavour compared to soy-based varieties, making it well suited to lighter dishes and those with ingredient sensitivities. Its extended fermentation allows natural savoury notes to develop gradually, resulting in a balanced paste that enhances food without dominating it.
FermenStation sources its grains directly from regenerative Australian farmers committed to biodynamic practices. The chickpeas used in this miso are grown by Slater Farms on the Queensland and New South Wales border, where sustainable farming methods are helping rebuild soil health after challenging flood conditions. This close relationship with growers ensures transparency, quality and respect for the land.
Prepared by a chef with decades of culinary experience, this miso reflects a deep understanding of flavour, fermentation and thoughtful food preparation. It is designed to support mindful cooking and everyday nourishment through carefully made, fermented pantry staples.
