About

Jookjangyeon is located in Jookjang-ri, situated in a valley on the eastern seaside of Korea. The valley is perfect for a doenjang and gochujang farm. It receives warmth of the sun from sunrise to sunset. 

Every ingredient is from nature; soybeans, sun-dried sea salt, even the earthen pot for fermentation. All ingredients are sourced directly from the local farms in the area. And these farmers are the makers of Jookjangyeon. They farm during the warm seasons, then come to make doenjang and gochujang during the winter season. Using the produce they raised, these farmers put their love and care from the very beginning to the end.

Why so special? Beauty of 1,000

Fermentation is the art of time and care. It takes 1,000 days to deliver this special sauce to your kitchen. At Jookjangyeon, farmers grow the soybeans for 200 days. After the harvest, maeju (메주, fermented soybean block) is dried for 50 days, then fermented 20 days. This fermented maeju is mixed with other ingredients for another 60 days of fermentation, and 2 years of final aging to reveal its rich flavor.

Even the salt used for Jookjangyeon products is a special sun-dried sea salt that has gone through 3 years of natural bittern-removal process. This purifying process removes bitterness from the natural salt.

This product combines two different types of doenjang, using the 1,000 days doenjang and a younger, fresh doenjang.

Description

Jookjangyeon Premium Doenjang is great for Ssamjang (쌈장) that is a must for Korean BBQ.  It might be a little too difficult for some to cook Jjigae (찌개) as the premium Doenjang’s flavor can be just too strong.  

Baro Doenjang is a mixture of fully fermented Jookjangyeon Premium Doenjang and a less fermented, younger doenjang.  While keeping the rich and savory flavor of Premium Doenjang, Baro Doenjang has less sodium and saves you from making yuksoo (육수, stock).  Simply adding vegetables with Baro Doenjang will make you a good tasting Jjigae that pairs classically with a bowl of rice.
