Umami Unico was created for cooks who want deeper, richer flavor, the kind that makes a dish taste fuller, rounder, and more satisfying without adding heaviness. Instead of relying on salt or heat, this blend builds flavor through natural umami-rich ingredients like shiitake mushrooms and kelp, supported by aromatic herbs, warm spices, and subtle citrus.
This small-batch blend is designed to enhance food rather than compete with it. The mushroom powder brings savory depth, kelp adds mineral complexity and body, and nigella, sumac, and herbs lift the flavor so it stays balanced and bright. The result isn’t overpowering; it’s quietly transformative.
Every ingredient is chosen with intention: mushroom and kelp for umami, garlic and onion for savory backbone, herbs for lift, and warming spices for subtle roundness. Together, they create depth that feels natural in the dish instead of layered on top of it.
Unlike blends that chase intensity for its own sake, Umami Unico delivers complex flavor with restraint — deep, savory richness that amplifies what’s already there.
It’s the seasoning you reach for when you want your food to taste more, not more seasoned.
