Oaktown Spice Shop — Umami Sea Salt
$12.75
Sea salt loaded with black garlic and shiitake. The savory, deep-flavor salt.
Umami is the fifth taste, the savory depth in aged cheese, soy sauce and mushrooms. This salt puts it in a shaker: sea salt blended with shiitake mushroom and black garlic powder, which is garlic slowly aged until it turns sweet and molasses-dark. A pinch makes steak taste more like steak and soup taste like it simmered longer.
Who this is for
- Finishing steak, roast chicken or a fried egg
- Soups and stews that taste flat
- Vegetarians who want meaty depth without meat
- Caesar salad, avocado toast, roasted mushrooms
- Anyone who salts everything and wants the salt to do more
