Condito Ferments - Buy Shoyu, unpastorized Miso and Ferments from South Tyrol and Italy online.

Ferments are not only healthy, they round off every dish and give it that certain umami kick. Our pastes and sauces are lovingly handmade from Italian pulses and South Tyrolean grains in our kitchen in Bolzano and are 100 percent organic.

After at least four months and up to two years of fermentation, they develop an incomparable taste and can be added to almost any dish.

Far Eastern food technology combined with local products in organic quality

The sauces and pastes you can order from us are Shoyu (soy sauce without soy), Miso, Garum, Cheeso and vinegars have all been produced in the Far East for hundreds or thousands of years, the basis of all these wonderfully fermented foods is a single fungus - Aspergillus Oryzae was domesticated in China over 2000 years ago and consequently new applications were discovered. 

The sauces and pastes mentioned above all originated in Japan, but there are similar products in China, Korea, Vietnam, Philippines. Actually moulds are dangerous for humans, but there are only 3 species which are even beneficial to health, the other two are found in cheese production (A.Roquafortis) and in other amino pastes (A.Luchulensis). This fungus has the ability to break down proteins into amino acids through the enzyme protease (which is also found in saliva) and to convert starch into alcohol and sugar through the enzyme amylase. During long fermentations, bacteria also come into play and influence the taste of the end product. Harmful bacteria are prevented by the relatively high salt content and the sterile environment.

UMAMI - the gold of the kitchen

The fifth sense of taste, umami, has always been deeply anchored in our culture, among Asians as well as Europeans; in the form of any cheese, sausage, ham or some vegetables or also the artificially extracted monosodium glutamate, which was invented by Mr. Maggi. 

In the ferments we produce, the content of umami in the form of glutaminase (amino acid) is particularly high and therefore every dish becomes more flavourful and rounded through the addition of Condito Ferments.

100 % food recycling

Some of our amino sauces and amino pastes such as Burned Bread Amino Sauce and Rye and Shaken Bread Miso, the garum from Parmesan rinds, bacon trimmings and chicken carcasses are made from waste, we run a catering service and all leftovers are not thrown away but transformed into tasty food seasonings in lengthy fermentation processes.
