Tummour Fermented Fish Sauce 500ml

Tummour Fermented Fish Sauce (Nam Pla Ra) 500ml

Tummour Fermented Fish Sauce (น้ำปลาร้าตำมั่ว, nam pla ra Tam Mua) is a Thai fermented fish sauce produced under the Tummour (Tam Mua / ตำมั่ว) brand. Nam pla ra (น้ำปลาร้า) is the liquid form of pla ra (ปลาร้า — fermented fish), a traditional Isan (อีสาน) and Lao fermented fish condiment that is distinct from regular Thai fish sauce (nam pla / น้ำปลา). While nam pla is produced from anchovies fermented with salt to produce a refined, clear liquid, pla ra is produced from freshwater fish fermented with salt and roasted rice bran over a longer period, producing a much more pungent, complex, and intensely flavoured condiment with a characteristic strong fermented aroma. Nam pla ra is the strained liquid extracted from pla ra, retaining the deep fermented flavour and aroma in a pourable liquid format. It is a foundational seasoning in Isan and Lao cooking, used in som tam (ส้มตำ — green papaya salad), larb (ลาบ), nam tok (น้ำตก), and a wide range of Isan dishes where its distinctive fermented depth is essential to the authentic flavour profile. The Thai description notes its fragrant aroma and rich, concentrated authentic Isan flavour (รสเข้มข้นแบบอีสานแท้). The 500ml bottle is a standard household format.

• Product type: Thai fermented fish sauce (nam pla ra) — Tummour (Tam Mua) brand, 500ml bottle, authentic Isan condiment
• Key flavour/aroma: Deeply pungent, complex, and intensely savoury fermented fish sauce — significantly more pungent and flavourful than regular nam pla, with a characteristic strong fermented aroma
• Primary use case: Isan cooking seasoning — essential in som tam, larb, nam tok, and Isan-style dishes where authentic fermented fish depth is required
• Secondary use case: Lao cooking and fermented fish condiment — used across Lao cuisine in the same applications as in Isan cooking
• Pack size: 500ml bottle — standard household format for regular Isan cooking use

Note: Nam pla ra has a strong, pungent fermented aroma that is characteristic of the product and essential to its flavour contribution in Isan cooking. It is not interchangeable with regular fish sauce (nam pla) in recipes that specifically call for nam pla ra.
