Fermented Shrimp Paste (Mắm Tôm)

A taste of Southern Vietnamese tradition. Anyone who has set foot in the Mekong Delta — the famous river country of southern Vietnam — is drawn to its people: honest, unpretentious, warm and welcoming. Among its traditions is the craft of making mắm, passed down from one generation to the next, nourished by fertile land where each flood season brings an abundance of wild fish and shrimp.

Making mắm is a culinary art, refined at every step from the choice of ingredients to the method of preparation, with the signature flavour that is Mắm Bà Thạo: clean, made from 100% wild fish caught in the Mekong River, where rich silt yields fish full of nutrition.

Mắm Bà Thạo — food and seasoning for every meal.
