The Makers of the SPAM® Brand Bring the Heat with the New SPAM® Gochujang Flavored Variety

Tags

Austin, Minn.

The popularity of Korean cuisine continues to drive new flavor innovation

The makers of the SPAM® brand continue to bring inspiration from foods and flavors around the world with the launch of SPAM® Gochujang flavored. Fans can now find this variety in an eight-pack exclusively at Costco Wholesale Warehouses.

Inspired by the popular Korean condiment, the taste combines spicy, sweet, smoky and umami to create a perfect addition to any occasion. Use it in more traditional recipes like kimbap, so-tteok so-tteok, or budae jjigae or put a flavorful twist on your musubi, SPAM® and eggs, or ramen.

Gochujang, is a fermented spicy red chili paste and is a staple ingredient in Korean cuisine. The fermentation process gives a complex, rich taste that combines spicy, sweet, salty and umami flavors.

“In celebration of the love Korean-Americans have for the SPAM® brand, we wanted to create our very own SPAM® Gochujang flavored” said Jennesa Kinscher, senior brand manager for the SPAM® brand. “This can packs an approachable heat while still providing the versatility and convenience we all love about SPAM® products.”

For a limited time, SPAM® Gochujang flavored is joining the lineup of the 12 SPAM® varieties. Gochujang, however, will be sold exclusively at Costco Wholesale Warehouses and will be available while supplies last. To learn more and find recipe inspiration, visit
