Taste and use:
Our spruce tip miso has a slightly resinous, bitter taste with a light spruce forest note. It's ideal for home cooking, bringing the forest into the restaurant. We recommend it for all kinds of savory sauces and also for meat dishes. It's also delicious in lentil dishes and paired with Black Forest ham or Culatello ham.
History of creation :
The first version was inspired by social media. During the first lockdown, many restaurateurs pickled spruce tips and preserved them for the post-lockdown period. A conversation with Marcel Hild from Löwen in Steinenbronn, south of Stuttgart, sparked the desire to bring the flavor of the local forest—the Schönbuch—to life in an even more concentrated form. To this end, he and his team—in consultation with local forest owners—went into the forest and sustainably collected only a few spruce tips from each tree, bringing a large bowl back to the miso production facility in spring 2023.
Signature Dish Pastrami Sandwich:
He immediately added the slightly resinous, bitter note to his signature dish, a pastrami (smoked and cured red meat) sandwich marinated in spruce tip (also known as May tip) miso and seasoned it with a spruce tip miso mayonnaise. And this was a highlight dish at his kitchen party—for that we are grateful.
