Authentic Korean Naturally Fermented Paste · Authentic Korean Fermented Red Pepper Paste

Gochujang is an essential red fermented seasoning paste on the Korean table. Made by fermenting and aging sun-dried chili powder, meju soybeans, glutinous rice, and sea salt together over a long period of time, it delivers a deep, spicy-sweet flavor with rich umami. Just as European miso or sauerkraut are shaped by time, Gochujang is the essence of Korean fermentation culture. Haechandle is the flagship jang (fermented paste) brand of CJ CheilJedang, Korea's leading food company, and the most beloved Gochujang in Korean households.

Gochujang is far more than just a spicy condiment. Its hallmark is the interplay of deep umami, a subtle sweetness, and a complex aroma born from long fermentation.

Traditional Korean Fermentation · Traditional Korean Fermentation

1. The Foundation of Korean Soybean Fermentation — Koji
Haechandle Gochujang is not simply a mixture of chili powder. First, soybeans and grains (rice and wheat) are fermented together with Koji starter culture to build the foundation of deep umami. This process follows the same principle as Japanese miso — proteins are broken down to naturally generate umami.

2. Taeyancho — Sun-Dried Chili Peppers
The name "Taeyancho (Sun-Dried Chili)" refers to chili peppers naturally dried under sunlight. On Korean farms, red chili peppers harvested in autumn are spread out in the yard to dry in the sun — a method that produces a more vivid color and a richer aroma in the chili powder. This sun-dried chili powder is then added to the fermented soybean base and aged over a long period of time.

3. Depth Created by Time — Fermentation and Aging Craft
Haechandle produces its fermented pastes using its own proprietary fermentation and aging technology. Rather than simply mixing ingredients, the process allows living microorganisms sufficient time to develop and complete the flavor profile.

4. What Gochujang Shares with European Fermented Foods
Just as French cheese gains its character through time, German sauerkraut develops deep sourness through natural fermentation, and Italian wine builds complex aromas through aging — Korean Gochujang is equally a product of fermentation's patient craft. Discover a new face of the fermentation culture you already know.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Gochujang? What does it taste like?

Gochujang is a traditional Korean naturally fermented red chili paste. It is made by combining red chili powder, glutinous rice, soybeans, and salt, then fermenting the mixture using traditional methods. Just as European cheese and wine develop deep flavors through fermentation and aging, Gochujang develops complex umami and rich aroma during the fermentation process. The flavor is spicy, sweet, and savory with a deep umami character. Unlike a simple hot sauce, it carries multiple layers of complex flavor, making it ideal for stir-fries, stews, marinades, and more. Haechandle's Taeyancho Gochujang uses naturally sun-dried chili peppers (Taeyancho) for an even more vivid color and richer aroma.

Is this Gochujang suitable for vegans or vegetarians?

Yes, Haechandle Delicious Sun-Dried Gochujang is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It contains no ingredients of animal origin and is made from plant-based ingredients using traditional fermentation methods. However, please be sure to check the allergen information in the FAQ below. In particular, those with gluten sensitivity should take care.

I have allergies — can I eat this product? What allergens does it contain?

This product contains major allergens that must be declared under EU Regulation 1169/2011. ⚠️ Gluten: This product contains wheat flour, wheat, and distilled alcohol derived from wheat and barley. People with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance should not consume this product. ⚠️ Soybeans: This product contains soybeans and soybean powder. Those with a soybean allergy should exercise caution. If you are concerned about an allergic reaction, please consult a doctor or specialist before consuming.

Is this Gochujang Halal certified? Does it contain alcohol?

This product is not currently Halal certified. The ingredient list includes distilled alcohol (ethyl alcohol), which is derived from wheat and barley. Therefore, this product is not alcohol-free and is not suitable for those who require Halal-certified food. If you follow a Halal diet, please take this into consideration before purchasing.

I've heard Gochujang is high in salt — how should I use it? How should I store it?

Haechandle Sun-Dried Gochujang contains 5.9g of salt per 100g, which corresponds to approximately 98% of the EU adult Reference Intake (RI) for salt — a notably high figure. It is therefore recommended to use it in small amounts, and to be mindful of total salt intake when combining it with other salty condiments such as soy sauce or table salt. As a general guide, 1–2 tablespoons (approximately 15–30g) per serving is appropriate for stir-fry dishes. Storage: Before opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate; quality can be maintained for several months when refrigerated. Covering the surface with cling film to prevent air contact will extend shelf life further.
