Our Story

Since 2014, Yurim started catering business in Berlin. One day when she was preparing a breakfast catering, she was not so satisfied with her hummus, but then this idea came up within a minute.

“What about mix with Ssamjang?”

The result was phenomenal. Clients´ reaction was remarkable. Because it was hummus with deep and rich flavour which is nutty yet tangy note. The taste was something familiar but never had before. The best part was that it is very addictive, ended up made people to eat more vegetables.

That is how Ssamjang Hummus was born.

During the pandemic, when everything was unable and restricted. She saw the vision of Ssamjang Hummus, and incubated ideas of John Matt.
