Organic New Hazelnut Miso

Extraordinary miso, without soy, with local hazelnuts and barley

The enveloping embrace of hazelnut meets the depth of umami in a unique ferment.

Organic New Hazelnut Miso from Nesler

Our Organic Novello Hazelnut Miso is a truly extraordinary creation, born from Nesler's pioneering vision to showcase one of Tuscia's most iconic crops: the hazelnut. This extraordinary miso represents the perfect blend of innovation and tradition, marrying the age-old knowledge of oriental fermentation with the precious fruits of the Viterbo area. It's a product we're proud to offer, because it embodies the essence of "Hazelnut Umami."

Unlike traditional soy-based miso, this version uses local hazelnuts and organic barley. The artisanal production takes place in small batches of 20-25 kg, allowing for an almost obsessive attention to detail. The result is a condiment characterized by an intense, savory, and unmistakably nutty flavor, enhanced by a relatively short secondary fermentation period of 4-6 months, which preserves the aromatic freshness typical of "novello" products.

Choosing New Hazelnut Miso means bringing a versatile and surprising ingredient into the kitchen. Its texture and aromatic profile make it a valuable ally in transforming everyday dishes into gourmet experiences. It is the epitome of a conscious gastronomy that looks to the future without ever forgetting its roots, offering an authentic and profound sensory experience.

The roots of this Organic Hazelnut Miso Novello are deep in tradition

The production of this miso follows the slow rhythms of nature and the ancient koji technique. The process begins with organic barley being inoculated with spores of Aspergillus oryzae, resulting in an initial two-day fermentation that requires constant monitoring and manual stirring. Next, the barley koji is combined with expertly prepared Tuscia hazelnuts, whole sea salt, and water, beginning its maturation in a protected yet seasonal environment.

This methodology revives the concept of "living food" typical of rural cultures, where fermentation was the means to enhance the nutritional and flavor profile of ingredients. Produced in Canino (VT), this miso is not a simple Asian imitation, but a condiment that has acquired a strong and recognizable personality, becoming a go-to for chefs seeking unexpected local excellence.

Choosing Organic New Hazelnut Miso means taking care of yourself.

Like all Nesler products, New Hazelnut Miso is an unpasteurized product, rich in live, beneficial microorganisms. These active cultures support the balance of intestinal flora and aid digestion. Hazelnuts, rich in healthy fats and vitamins, become even more digestible and nutritious through fermentation, as enzymes break down proteins into simple, readily digestible amino acids.

The absence of soy meets the needs of those seeking alternatives to this legume, while the use of local ingredients ensures a short and sustainable supply chain. Including this miso in your diet means choosing a condiment that nourishes the body and respects the environment, free from chemical additives, perfect for those who prioritize health and authenticity in their organic pantry.
