The flavour of fresh wasabi
Fresh wasabi offers a unique and highly distinctive culinary experience. It can be likened to a harmonious symphony of tastes, with enigmatic heat and flavour.
Unlike its powdered counterpart, fresh wasabi offers a sophisticated, multi-layered profile that is at once earthy, sweet, and herbaceous, with a subtle heat that gradually intensifies before fading away without leaving a lingering burn.
Its taste is clean and refreshing, with hints of greenery and a slight tanginess that adds a compelling depth.
Our Wasabi Preparation Guide contains innovative recipes that use wasabi as an ingredient. This is ideal for new and accomplished cooks alike.
Preparing fresh wasabi
Breaking wasabi down at the cellular level is vital to bring together compounds that are held in different parts of the cell.
The enzyme reaction that results is responsible for both flavour and pungency. This will peak after 5-7 mins, hold for 15 mins, and then slowly reduce.
For this reason, wasabi is served at the table and grated little and often.
The wasabi grater brush included in the collection will help you mix the wasabi and gather all of the valuable paste from the grater.
Storing fresh wasabi
Fresh wasabi should be stored in the fridge and will keep its high quality for 14 days. Read more about storing fresh wasabi here.
Wasabi Mayonnaise
Our Wasabi Mayonnaise is truly one of a kind.
The fresh-tasting, all-natural mayonnaise is perfectly balanced with the mild, authentic flavour of fresh wasabi, grown in spring water on our Dorset and Hampshire farms.
Wonderfully moreish and versatile, this is the only mayonnaise in the world made with English wasabi.
Distinguished by a gentle yet lively taste, emboldened by the pungent heat of the fresh wasabi root, the wasabi mayo still retains a sweet moreish flavour.
Serve with smoked salmon canapés, spread liberally on your favourite sandwich or liven up a potato salad.
Ingredients: Rapeseed oil, pasteurised free-range egg yolk (10%), fresh wasabi (5%), vinegar, horseradish, oriental mustard, cornflower, salt, sugar.
Wasabi Mustard
Our original, tangy natural mustard recipe was specifically created to combine beautifully with the authentic flavour of fresh English wasabi, grown on our own Dorset and Hampshire farms.
With the unmistakable, aromatic pungency of fresh wasabi, and the tangy heat of fresh horseradish, the Wasabi Mustard brings a welcome hot zing to your dishes.
Intriguing, stimulating, and unique, the mustard adds a distinguishing taste to any recipe.
Wasabi Mustard is particularly delicious when spread on ham sandwiches. Combine with beef, patê or cheese for an especially lively sandwich.
Additionally, try using the mustard in salad dressings or sauces, and savour the distinctive taste of fresh wasabi root.
Ingredients: Mustard (41%) (water, mustard powder, mustard bran), white wine vinegar, sugar, wasabi (5%), horseradish, salt, turmeric
Wasabi Vodka
Our craft vodka captures the elusive flavour of fresh wasabi like never before, by carefully distilling UK-grown wasabi in copper pot stills with an artisanal small batch of vodka.
Single-distilled and unfiltered, the spirit retains a natural creamy smoothness. Buttery at the start, brassica flavours of sweet mustard and radish give way to high notes of star anise and pepper, followed by a complex lingering warmth.
Fresh wasabi paste, straight from our Dorset and Hampshire farms, is used for maximum flavour and to get the distinctive pungency of real wasabi. Under the expert hand of award-winning master distiller Dr John Walters, the complexity of fresh wasabi is captured through an innovative distillation technique, allowing the enigmatic heat and flavour to shine.
For true wasabi lovers, we recommend enjoying this vodka neat or over ice - however, the flavour profile is perfectly suited to a Bloody Mary. It can also be enjoyed in a classic vodka martini recipe for a fiery adaptation, over ice, with soda water or your choice of mixer.
