The result is a plant-based delicacy that completely redefines the concept of &#8220;vegetables&#8221;. <\/div>\n<div class=\"large-12 columns margin-bottom-10\">By refining it with the noble <strong>Koji<\/strong> mold (Aspergillus oryzae), the vegetable proteins in the carrot are broken down and transformed into deep, hearty umami. The subsequent smoking and maturing gives it a texture and spicy depth that is deceptively reminiscent of fine salami.<br \/>\nOur koji carrot is a culinary highlight: intense in bite, complex in aroma and 100% handmade. A touch of star cuisine and the perfect answer to the question of genuine, plant-based enjoyment.  <\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Topping:<\/strong> Give pizza, pasta or sandwiches a hearty, smoky salami kick.<\/li>\n<li class=\"large-12 columns margin-bottom-10\"><strong>Upgrade:<\/strong> The perfect component for aperitif platters, served with olives, nuts and vegan cheese.<\/li>\n<li class=\"large-12 columns margin-bottom-10\"><strong>Side dish:<\/strong> A culinary eye-catcher with potato salad or as a fine component in a gourmet sandwich.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>This product is what you see, with no added proteins, binders or preservatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><strong>*Ingredients 100% organic | CH-Bio-038<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carrots*, pureTaste Puromat spice* (Chinese cabbage*, red cabbage*, white cabbage*, fennel*, carrots*, radish*, leek*, celery*, pears*, onions*, garlic*, ginger*, chili*, paprika*, <strong>Peas*, pearl barley*<\/strong>, black garlic*, juniper*, bay leaves*, sea buckthorn*), alpine salt, rice flour*, Aspergillus oryzae <\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight selection:<\/strong> 55-59g, 60-64g, 65-70g<br \/>\nProduced in Basel, Switzerland<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":[],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[]},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[222,236],"product_tag":[217,218],"class_list":{"0":"post-4477","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-koji-fermented-products","7":"product_cat-vegan-charcuterie","8":"product_tag-bio-en","9":"product_tag-vegan-en","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"featured","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-variable"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Smoked koji carrot | The vegan salami alternative | pureTaste<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the koji carrot: refined through koji fermentation and smoked to perfection.
