Organic Ram Sauce Nesler

Salsa Ariete Organic represents the pinnacle of Italian artisanal fermentation. It's a "shoyu" sauce (the Japanese term for soy sauce) that revolutionizes the traditional concept by completely eliminating soy in favor of organically grown chickpeas and wheat. This choice, born from Carlo Nesler's vision, favors more sustainable and easily digestible raw materials, rooted in the Tuscia region.

The process is entirely artisanal and requires time and dedication: maturation occurs naturally for at least a full year, following the rhythm of the seasons without any forced temperature adjustment. During this long period, deep anaerobic and superficial aerobic fermentation work together to create an incredibly broad aromatic spectrum, ranging from intensely savory notes to delicate fruity nuances.

Characterized by a powerful "umami" (the so-called fifth taste), Salsa Ariete is a condiment with a bold and recognizable personality. It's the perfect choice for those seeking the complexity of a great fermented sauce but wanting a product that's soy- and gluten-free (despite the presence of wheat, the fermentation process breaks down the gluten, making it suitable, according to the manufacturer's analyses), and made with whole Sicilian sea salt.

The roots of this Organic Ariete Sauce are deep in tradition

The secret of Salsa Ariete lies in the age-old koji technique. The process begins with inoculating chickpeas and wheat with koji spores. Aspergillus oryzae, giving rise to an initial two-day fermentation that requires constant monitoring and manual care. Next, the mixture is combined with a strong brine to begin its long journey of transformation in the barrel, exactly as ancient Eastern traditions dictate.

Nesler has transformed this expertise into a local business in Canino (VT), where the sauces mature in wooden barrels within a green building. This isn't a simple imitation of foreign products, but a creative reinterpretation that uses Mediterranean legumes to create a condiment that has become an authentic expression of the Viterbo region. Patience is the key ingredient: only time allows for the perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and acidity to be achieved.

Choosing Organic Salsa Ariete means taking care of yourself

Consuming Salsa Ariete means incorporating a "living" food into your diet. Being unpasteurized, the sauce retains all its active enzymes, essential for supporting a healthy gut microbiome and promoting better digestion. Chickpeas, the star of the recipe, offer an excellent nutritional profile, and thanks to fermentation, their proteins become even more bioavailable to the body.

The use of Sicilian whole sea salt ensures a supply of natural trace elements, avoiding the excess sodium typical of refined industrial sauces. Furthermore, Nesler's mission is to promote a culture of healthy and conscious food, where every drop of seasoning comes from a short and transparent supply chain, free from preservatives and chemical additives, designed for those who put well-being and the environment first.
