Welcoming Autumn Ingredients

As autumn begins, EVETT's owner-chef Joseph visited a pine nut farm in Gapyeong, Gangwon Province. Gapyeong is renowned for its high-quality pine nuts, and early autumn is the optimal time to harvest the freshest and most flavorful nuts.

The pine nut harvesting process requires delicate and precise work. Farmers climb the pine trees to hand-pick the pine cones or use tools to harvest the nuts, which are then naturally dried and stored. This time-consuming and labor-intensive process results in the production of high-quality pine nuts.

Pine nuts are widely used in both traditional Korean cuisine and modern cooking. They are versatile ingredients used in making porridge, sauces, or as garnishes in various dishes. Chef Joseph gained much inspiration from participating in the pine nut harvest and is now preparing new fall menu items with the EVETT team.
