Our products

All our products and ingredients are certified organic
Ecocert Canada

We are artisans with a deep conviction and the most noble of intentions, beyond the trappings of style and trends, devoted to creating and producing living foods, certified organic, that provide a vast array of exceptional functional properties. We select our ingredients with care and take pride in using only the highest quality organic products, certified non-GM.

Fermented for a period of 1 to 5 years, our misos are produced according to an ancient traditional process using the highest quality ingredients. Some of the key steps in producing miso, sometimes forgotten or set aside by modern producers, are major components in our production process for providing top quality misos unique in the texture and rich taste they develop over time.

So, do we offer :

• Amber White Miso (soy-free), fermented 12 months
• Rice Miso, fermented 3 years
• Gaspésie Rice (hulless oats) Miso, fermented 3 years, an exceptional miso, unique in the world and 100% Quebec terroir
• Buckwheat Miso, fermented 3 years
• Japanese Style Miso, fermented 3 years (with seaweeds, mushrooms, herbs and spices added in third fermentation)
• Townships Style Miso, fermented 3 years, (with garlic, chives and herbs added in third fermentation)
• 5 year-old Special Vintage Rice Miso

As the fermentation process progresses, the miso begins to produce and release, in very small quantities, the nectar that will eventually become the authentic tamari, the mother of all shoyu: damari.

Requiring infinite patience, the flow of the seasons and tides and the very breathing of the miso – the ultimate living food – the damari will seep through its vessels, veins and arteries to surface and become what can be named “the blood of the miso”. It is known as the most ancient form of tamari.

The damari produced at Les Aliments Massawippi is a tamari, certified organic, non- pasteurized, and fermented for a period of 3 to 5 years. It is quite probably one of the only raw, living tamari available on North American markets.

We take a lot of care in slowly and gently extracting tamari from our miso. With its ultimate “umami” flavor reminiscent of miso, tamari and shoyu, the damari lends a deep and rich taste to various dishes. It is ideal for sushi, sashimi, tempura, tofu, vegetables, pasta and rice. A few drops go a long way!All our damaris are certified organic, non pasteurized, GMO free and gluten free – except the barley damari. So, do we offer:

• Rice Damari aged 3 – 4 years
• Gaspésie Rice (oats) Damari aged 3 years
• Barley Damari aged 8 years
• Buckwheat Damari aged 3 years
• Multigrain Damari aged 3 years
