In 2008, a pivotal moment unfolded in the life of our founder, marking the inception of a journey driven by personal adversity and a deep-seated conviction in the healing power of food. Diagnosed with cancer, she embarked on a quest for understanding, quickly confronting the stark reality that the origins of her illness could be intricately linked to dietary choices. This realization was further amplified by witnessing firsthand the substandard hygiene practices prevalent in the production of fish sauce, a staple ingredient in many kitchens. It was this combination of personal health struggles and the exposure to the compromised quality of widely consumed food products that ignited a fierce determination within her to take matters into her own hands. The philosophy of "making it properly myself" was not merely a choice but a necessity, birthing a commitment to excellence and health in the fermented food business.
Starting modestly with a small batch of just 60 liters, our founder embarked on this venture by purchasing anchovies in May, laying the foundation for what would become a highly acclaimed fish sauce. The initial batch, crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, quickly garnered unanimous praise from those who had the chance to experience its distinctive flavor and quality. This early success served as a testament to the potential of combining traditional fermentation practices with a steadfast commitment to purity and health, setting the stage for the continuous growth and evolution of our product offerings.
Driven by the ancient wisdom that advocates for food as the ultimate medicine — "Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food" — each batch of our products is infused with more than just ingredients; they are a blend of sincerity, love, and a profound respect for the age-old traditions of fermentation. Our commitment extends beyond the mere production of food; we aim to enrich lives, bringing not only enhanced flavors to your table but also contributing to the overall well-being and happiness of families.
As our journey progresses, the core ethos of our brand remains unwavering — to offer products that are not only delicious but also nourishing, embodying the belief that true health begins with what we eat. Our range of fermented foods is carefully crafted to honor the legacy of traditional practices while embracing the challenges and opportunities of the modern world. We are dedicated to providing foods that heal, delight, and bring people together, continuing to expand our offerings in response to the growing demand for authentic, health-promoting culinary experiences.
In this spirit, we invite you to join us on this journey towards better health and joy through food. Each product we create is a step towards realizing our vision of a world where meals are not just eaten but celebrated for their inherent power to nurture and heal. Together, let's embrace the wisdom of our ancestors, making every meal an opportunity to nourish our bodies, minds, and souls.
