Oliviers & Co Yuzu & Ginger Infused Soy Sauce

Tasting Notes of the Curator

This is not your everyday soy sauce—it’s a masterstroke of flavor blending. The umami foundation of naturally brewed soy sauce meets the fragrant zest of yuzu, Japan’s prized citrus, and the invigorating heat of fresh ginger. Together, they create an exquisite condiment that dances between salty, tangy, and subtly sweet.

On the nose, it releases a vibrant aroma reminiscent of candied citrus peel and earthy spice. On the palate, the yuzu’s high notes cut through the richness of soy, awakening the senses with citrus brightness, while the ginger adds a rounded warmth that lingers softly. Its texture is silky and rich, coating the tongue with a delicate sheen that enhances any ingredient it touches—be it raw fish, seared meat, or seasonal vegetables. This is the essence of balance and refinement, captured in a bottle.

Pairings and Suggestions

Sushi and Sashimi: Use sparingly to highlight the freshness of raw fish without overpowering it.

Grilled Seafood: Brush lightly over scallops, shrimp, or salmon for a fragrant glaze.

Dressings & Marinades: Combine with sesame oil, rice vinegar, or citrus juice for an aromatic vinaigrette.

Meat & Poultry: Drizzle over roast duck, chicken, or pork belly to enhance savory depth.

Vegetarian Delights: A few drops can elevate stir-fried greens, tofu, or soba noodles to something transcendent.

For a refined appetizer, blend the sauce with a touch of honey and use it as a dip for gyoza or spring rolls—its brightness cuts through richness beautifully.

A Citrus Thread Through Tradition

Yuzu, often described as the soul of Japanese citrus, has long symbolized renewal and purity in Japanese culture. Its fragrance recalls the crisp air of winter solstice baths, where yuzu fruits are floated for good fortune. By pairing this heritage ingredient with ginger—another ancient emblem of vitality—Oliviers & Co reimagines tradition through a Mediterranean lens. The result is a sauce that speaks fluently in both East and West, bridging the warmth of ginger with the sunlit perfume of citrus. It’s a condiment that doesn’t just season food—it tells a story of harmony, brightness, and transformation.
