Known as the fifth taste, umami is distinct from the four other tastes of sweet, salty, sour and bitter. Made with tomato, olives, porcini mushrooms, Parmigiano cheese and anchovies, just a dollop will boost and add robust flavours to a wide array of dishes. Best described as a FLAVOUR BOMB, this transformational paste is savoury deliciousness in a tube. One squeeze is enough to make good cooks great and great cooks extraordinary.

Excellent flavor added to dishes.
I used this umami paste for soups, spaghetti, and dishes that have a tomato base. It evens out acidity. It takes those dishes up a level in my opinion. It’s my second time purchasing it and I will keep buying it if the quality continues.

Everyone wonders why my tomato-based sauces are so good
I’ve been using this umami paste for many years. It’s a blend of sun-dried tomato paste, parmesan, and some anchovy if I remember right. It adds a richness and fullness to the sauce that shifts it from being more acidic to more savory. Highly recommended in pasta sauce, chili, tacos, etc.

Adds great, savory flavor to many recipes
After trying to find this at several stores locally, I finally found it and bought it on amazon. It's a great base for so many recipes and the squeeze tube makes it super convenient to use. I will always have this in my pantry from now on. It adds great dimension and a nice savory flavor to so many dishes. So glad that amazon has it available on the site so I don't have to keep hunting for it in stores!

Still learning...
I love the flavor but I am still learning the desired proportions to use, as you won't find it in any recipes. This is similar to other additives I use... i.e. anchovy paste, Marmite.

Excellent
Love the product, a little expensive. I use it to add extra flavor to many dishes I make. Good flavor enhancer for sauces, gravy and other stews.

the bomb for slow cooker food
i add this magic to slow cooker roast beef or chicken. slow cooking can make these meats rather bland, but putting little dabs of umami bomb 5 really kicks up the meat and the gravy!

Tasty, but exspensive
Tastes really good, but there is only enough to make 3 meals.
