What is Noma Projects and how is it connected to the restaurant Noma?

Noma Projects shares the flavors and knowledge of restaurant noma in Copenhagen with people around the world. Our constantly evolving collection of pantry staples draws on more than two decades of innovation and deliciousness; our R&D club Taste Buds invites members behind the scenes for an entire year; and our latest project, Noma Kaffe, is a subscription that brings the restaurant’s acclaimed coffee program into your home.  

What’s the story behind Noma Projects? 

We started Noma Projects to make it possible for people to experience noma’s creativity beyond the four walls of the restaurant. Our test kitchen and fermentation lab have produced literally thousands of unique flavors—but only a handful of people get to try them. Now, all these ideas have the chance to take on a life of their own in kitchens everywhere.   

Who develops the recipes for Noma Projects products?

Every single Noma Projects recipe comes from noma’s creative team, past and present. This group includes René Redzepi, Creative Director Thomas Frebel, the restaurant’s Test Kitchen and Fermentation Lab, and, depending on the innovation, an extended family of cooks, scientists, sommeliers, foragers, and other collaborators. 

How do Noma chefs use Noma Projects products at home?

A big part of why we decided to create Noma Projects is that we use these ingredients all the time to transform simple meals into extraordinary ones at home. All it usually takes is a splash, a drop, or a drizzle. 

What kind of products does Noma Projects offer?

We create pantry staples that add depth and flavor to everyday cooking: garums (fermented seasonings), sauces, condiments, vinegars, spice blends, and occasional fermentation kits. Our R&D club Taste Buds allows members to try flavors from the past, present, and future of noma—some of which nobody else will ever get to experience.  

We also are very passionate about coffee: Noma Kaffe is a filter coffee subscription featuring beans sourced and roasted by our trailblazing beverage team in Copenhagen.

Where are your products made?

Everything is produced at our HQ in Copenhagen, Denmark, which is just a five-minute bike ride from the restaurant. We work in small batches, by hand, following the same standards that noma is proud to be known for.

How do you source your ingredients? 

We source ingredients as carefully as we do for the restaurant: working closely with a tightly knit network of farmers, foragers, and other small producers who share a commitment to quality, flavor, and our planet.   

How long do your products last and how should I store them? 

Most products are naturally preserved and have a long shelf life, often 12 months or more. Once opened, we recommend storing them in the refrigerator to maintain peak flavor. Each product label includes detailed storage instructions.  

Can I use your products in professional kitchens?

Absolutely. Many of our flavors were originally developed for noma’s menu—they just happen to have endless potential uses in the home kitchen. If you’re a restaurant that’s interested in learning more—or if your team already cook with Noma Projects—we’d love to be in touch.
