Damga is a brand that carries the traditional jang-making know-how passed down through four generations. Made through natural fermentation using domestic produce grown under contract with local farmers in Sunchang, each product is crafted with the deep, heartfelt taste of a mother's cooking.

Traditional red pepper paste made with premium sun-dried chili powder and Korean-grown produce

Korean glutinous rice and carefully selected sun-dried chili powder are blended with traditional meju powder and slow-cooked in a traditional cauldron. Thanks to its rich color and long aging period, this red pepper paste delivers a deep, robust umami flavor.

Rich chewiness and deep umami from natural fermentation in earthenware jars

The sweetness isn't artificial — it comes naturally from the glutinous rice slowly breaking down inside the fermentation jar. Aged patiently over time in traditional onggi, the resulting texture and flavor elevate any Korean dish to a whole new level.

Clean, well-balanced spiciness with no lingering harshness

Free of artificial coloring or harsh additives, this red pepper paste captures the deep, robust heat of natural sun-dried chili peppers. With no unpleasant aftertaste, it enhances the natural flavor of any dish it's used in.
