Shiro White Miso

The 500g product has a Best Before Date of 15/05/2026

Classic white (shiro) miso, has a light miso flavour and low salt content with a natural sweetness created during fermentation.

A staple of Japanese cuisine, this paste is produced by the carefully controlled fermentation of soya beans using koji mould. Classically used with dashi stock to create miso soup, shiro miso is also a very effective marinade for meat and fish. The enzyme protease turns protein to amino acids with a rich umami flavour. Just a small amount used as a glaze on meat, fish and vegetables is a very effective flavour enhancer.

White miso is also used in sweet dishes where it combines very well with dairy products, adding depth and character. Other uses include dips, and salad and vegetable dressings.
