Vegetarian Star

Bourbon Barrel Foods

Friday at 9PM the Discovery Channel will feature Kentucky based Bourbon Barrel Foods in an episode of How It’s Made. The company makes soy sauce from Kentucky grown, non GMO soybeans, soft red winter wheat, and limestone filtered Kentucky spring water. The soybean is aged in repurposed bourbon barrels.

Besides using local ingredients and used materials, Bourbon Barrels has a Worcestershire sauce that is vegetarian! If you didn’t know already, most Worcestershire sauces contain anchovies and are definitely not veggie friendly.

“Getting the chance to be on this show, I was beside myself,” Bourbon Barrel Foods owner Matt Jamie told the Louisville Kentucky Courier Journal.

“I have a blast making this — it’s so much fun,” he also added. “I love getting people to try it.”

Jamie said it was hard enough to tell his wife he was starting a business on his own. But then he had to explain how it would take 12 months for the first product to complete due to the fermentation.

But the business has made it and Jamie’s since branched out with other gourmet products like Kentuckyaki–Kentucky style sauce teriyaki sweetened with sorghum, flavored with bourbon, and seasoned with fresh ginger and garlic. He’s also created soy candles, soaps, seasonings and baking mixes like pancakes.
