Girl Carnivore | Ooomami | Umami Seasoning

Check out our exclusive Behind the Blend / Flavor Report with Kita Roberts (Girl Carnivore):

What was the creative process behind Ooomami? What inspired the blend?

The hill i chose to die on. I knew I wanted an umami based blend for burgers – i am a savory girl. I understand umami and wanted to create something that doubles down on those glutamates that makes that delicious umami flavor. Little heat with chipotle powder – i wanted earthy but savory with butter flavor. Salt pepper and fat – take the thing that makes Everything that was designed. And it’s fun to say.

How would you describe the flavor profiles of this blend?

Mushroomy – sniff while hovering over food. Don’t do that. Buttery rich deep ultra savory – salivatory.

How would you describe the aromatics of the blend?

Earthy blend with hint of heat. Do not recommend snorting it. Because of the intense umami.

What would be perfect foods to use this blend on?

Aioli on popcorn / fold into meatballs, ground beef burgers, heavily coating steaks – its made for steak. Mac and cheese when you make your own roux teamed up with Dirt.
