Natural Soy Sauces are
ingredients that
have great character. It is made from premium selected soy beans
that are mixed with roasted grain (wheat, rice or barley) and slowly
aged by natural fermentation process for several months. Once the
aging process is completed the mixture is filtered and bottled.
Other's
soy sauces are synthetically manufactured, produced in a
matter of days through a hydrolytic reaction and seasoned with
corn
syrup, caramel, coloring, salt and water. They lack the savoury
flavour of slowly aged and naturally brewed soy and often have
a
metallic (chemical) taste.
The
full name of 3-MCPD is 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol.
It is a chemical additive derivated from soy bean products. It
is reported that it might cause human cancer. The European Commission
has adopted a regulatory limit of 0.02 mg/kg for 3-MCPD in
soy sauce and HVP (Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein) based on a 40%
dry matter content. This regulation has come into force since
April 2002. Our Soy Sauce complies with the EU standard. Enjoy

There
are
two basic types of soy sauce used in traditional Thai cuisine,
light
and dark.
-
Dark
soy sauce is aged much longer than light soy sauce, giving it
a brownish-black colour, a much thicker texture and generally
not as salty as light soy sauce. It usually gives the dishes
a distinctive colour.
-
Light
soy sauce has a lighter colour and has a saltier
flavour. It can be used in dishes without darkening them.
