[Kisoondo] Traditional Doenjang


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

This is Kisoondo's Traditional Doenjang.

The paste is made with only two ingredients!

The first is Soybeans (100% Korea-grown, non-GMO).

Each November, premium-grade soybeans are turned into meju blocks.

The process begins by soaking the soybeans in natural bedrock water (extracted from 150m underground). When the soybeans turn soft, they're mashed and molded into brick-form.

The bricks are carefully placed into large, Korean Hangari pots (breathing earthenware pots used for traditional Korean fermentation).

Then, the second ingredient - roasted bamboo salt - is added to the pots.

(Compared to regular sea salt, roasted bamboo salt contains higher levels of iron, potassium and calcium.)

Typically, the standard fermentation process for factory-made doenjang is at least 6 weeks.

However, Kisoondo takes a long fermentation process of at least one year!

This produces a strong, sharp deep flavor and coarse texture - with bits of whole beans).

Important, this Doenjang contains no preservatives, additives, refined sugar or MSG.  It's also fat-free and cholesterol-free. 

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

Available in 320g and 500g jars

Thought I'd Give It a Try....

I've prepared miso soup most every day for the past 40 years (white rice miso, barley, chickpea, sweet, 3-year, 6-year...). I met a woman from South Korea who came into my store wanting to sell traditional prepared foods. One of the ingredients was doenjang, which she explained to me. I was intrigued so did an online search about it and, when it came to selecting a brand, I was most impressed with Kisoondo Traditional. I ordered it; it arrived promptly; it was tastefully packaged... but how did it taste? Opening it, I noticed it had a different fragrance than miso paste and a slightly different look. My 40-year habit using miso raised alarms but I reminded myself it didn't have to smell and look like miso. It is its own unique product borne of South Korean tradition, most likely shared with Japanese miso-making traditions.

I made a large pot of vegetable soup yesterday and seasoned it with doenjang. It was so comforting! It felt wholesome, and it was delicious, and satisfying. It is unique and will become a large part of my diet going forward. Non-GMO and preservative-free.
