More than two millennia ago, it was considered the noblest of sauces and was highly valued by gourmets such as Apicius. Back then, garum was mainly made from fermented fish and salt \u2013 it was so precious that it was traded throughout the Empire like wine or olive oil.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Modern interpretation with Koji<\/strong><br \/>At Condito Ferments, we revive this tradition. Our garums are made from <strong>fish, meat, bread, or Parmesan<\/strong> \u2013 fermented with <strong>koji (Aspergillus oryzae)<\/strong> at around 60 \u00b0C over several weeks. Enzymatic fermentation develops complex roasted notes and a deep, natural umami.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Diversity of varieties<\/strong><br \/>Whether from <strong>beef, chicken, fish, or bread<\/strong> \u2013 each garum has its own character:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\n  <li>Fish garum recalls the ancient tradition, fresh and salty.<\/li>\n  <li>Meat garum (e.g. beef or chicken) adds richness and depth to hearty dishes.<\/li>\n  <li>Parmesan garum is savory and creamy, perfect for vegetarian cuisine.<\/li>\n  <li>Bread garum shows how leftovers can become a highly aromatic product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Use in the kitchen<\/strong><br \/>Garum is a true <strong>all-rounder<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\n  <li>enhances <strong>marinades and sauces<\/strong><\/li>\n  <li>boosts the flavor of <strong>soups and stews<\/strong><\/li>\n  <li>adds umami to <strong>risottos, pasta, and vegetable dishes<\/strong><\/li>\n  <li>also suitable for <strong>vegan dishes<\/strong> when using bread or cheese versions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Naturally fermented, free from additives \u2013 pure umami seasoning from Italy.<\/strong><\/p>\n","link":"https:\/\/conditoferments.com\/en\/cproduct%20category\/sauces\/garum-en\/","name":"Garum","slug":"garum-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":108,"meta":[],"menu_order":8,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conditoferments.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conditoferments.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conditoferments.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conditoferments.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/108"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/conditoferments.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
