Umami Rich Recipes

The name Umami Me is inspired by taste of umami, often described as the fifth basic taste, savory and a delicious cornerstone of flavor. Derived from the Japanese word umai (delicious), umami is a rich, satisfying sensation that deepens and elevates the profile of any dish it touches. We've built our reputation on harnessing this depth of flavor by using browned butter in all our baked goods, a simple technique that naturally concentrates and enhances the existing umami in the butter. The gentle heating process transforms ordinary sweet cream butter by toasting the milk solids, creating a complex, nutty, and savory-sweet flavor that is incredibly versatile.

Now, you can bring the signature flavor of Umami Me into your own kitchen with our homemade brown butter. Making the switch from regular butter to browned butter is the easiest way to add a layer of sophisticated, nutty umami to nearly any recipe. It’s perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. Use it to deepen the flavor of scrambled eggs, drizzle over roasted vegetables, or simply substitute it in your favorite cookie and cake recipes.
