This condiment adds an intense pungent and umami flavor to food. This condiment brings depth and complexity to stews, soups and vegetables.

It’s special, but don’t be put off by the aroma - the flavor it imparts is something to savor. This is definitely the ingredient for the culinary adventurers out there.
