Belazu Ingredient Company and Miso Tasty have announced the launch of Miso Harissa Cooking Paste, a combination of each brand’s most popular product. The limited-edition cooking paste is a fusion of North African and Japanese cuisines, combining peppery warm spices with deep umami notes. The paste is balanced with balsamic glaze and honey notes to increase its versatility. Founder of Miso Tasty, Bonnie Chung, said: “This is a truly unique and delicious combination. I love pairing spicy notes with my miso as it naturally balances the deep tones of umami – this combination is magical and I love using it as a quick marinade too.” “Being given the opportunity to bring together two different worlds of flavour to innovate this new cooking paste is what we are passionate about and the results speak for themselves – a punch of flavour like no other”, added Henry Russell, innovation chef at Belazu.
