Axone (Akhuni) — Fermented Soybean Paste

From the highlands of Manipur, axone is one of Northeast India's most distinctive fermented ingredients — made the old way, by Zeliangrong producers in Tamenglong who have been doing this for generations.

Pungent, complex, and deeply savoury, axone is the backbone of highland cooking: stewed with pork, smoked meats, or vegetables, it adds a depth that no shortcut can replicate. This is not a novelty ingredient. It is a staple — finally on your shelf.
