With traditional XO sauce as a seed of inspiration, we set out to create an uncompromising vegan equivalent. Our Vegan XO Sauce is a mix of five unique components, each special in their own right and sourced from some of the most skilled producers in the world: house blended rose oil, umami-laden dried tomatoes, pumpkins that smoked and dried for months, Kanzuri chile that we confit and smoke, and beautifully distinct wild peppercorns. It’s the result of years of dedication to the exploration of flavor and technique, the discovery of unique traditions through research and travel, and experimentation in our kitchens – a true expression of craft, innovation, and time.  

This paste has been used in the kitchen of noma on top of crisp butter-toasted bread and  alongside cooked fish. It’s the perfect condiment: sauté mushrooms or roast potatoes and add a spoonful of Vegan XO Sauce or mix the paste into a vinaigrette for an unexpected layer to a salad.
