About

Jookjangyeon, Korea's most recognized Gochujang artisan, 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, red chili peppers, sweet syrup made from sweet rice. Even the earthen pot for fermentation is handmade by a national potter. All ingredients are sourced directly from the local farms in the area. Local farmers make this special Gochujang together.

Why so special? Love of mother nature and wisdom of time...

Fermentation is the art of time, care and blessing from mother nature. Starting with picking the best natural ingredients, Jookjangyeon Gochujang blends two types of Korean chili pepper flakes to get that awesome delicious spiciness. Natural sweetness is added from handmade rice malt syrup and sweet rice. No added sugar. 

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

When all ingredients are ready, it’s time for mother nature to give her blessing. All ingredients are added to artisanal earthen pot for fermentation for a minimum of six months.

Benefits of Gochujang?

There are reasons why Gochujang is Korea’s favorite hot pepper condiment. Besides its taste and use, Gochujang stimulates fat loss and speeds metabolism. Gochujang has the same health benefits as kombucha as it ferments in the same way.
