  • Delicious on bread, potatoes, vegetables or steak

What makes our umami butter special

naturally fermented, bio, handmade in Berlin

Umami butter combines the rich flavour of butter with the deep, savoury aromas of soy sauce lees – shoyu kasu in Japanese. Refined with shoyu kasu, this seasoned butter develops a complex, nutty umami note reminiscent of brown butter and mature Pecorino Romano cheese.

Gluten-free:
We had the gluten content of our umami butter tested in a laboratory – no gluten was detectable. Although we use grain-based lees, the gluten content was below the measurement threshold of 5 ppm after the long maturation process.

Foods with a gluten content of no more than 20 ppm may be labelled as gluten-free in the European Union according to EC Regulation 41/2009 and in the United States according to FDA ruling 78 FR 47154.

How to use our umami butter

This butter gives your sandwich a distinctive flavour. Try it on bread with radish, cucumber or tomato slices. But it can do even more: as a seasoning butter, it takes grilled vegetables, fish or meat to a new level of flavour and always ensures a full-bodied, spicy aroma.

The story behind our umami butter

In the production of soy sauce, a mash of soya beans, grain, salt and water is fermented over a long maturing period and then pressed. While the liquid that is pressed out becomes soy sauce, solid components remain - this nutrient-rich mash is called shoyu kasu in Japan. In our umami butter, we combine shoyu kasu with melted butter to give it a particularly deep, savoury flavour. At the same time, we use our precious ferments and organic raw materials sustainably and completely.

Shelf life

Our Umami Butter has a best-before date of 6 months from the date of bottling.
Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee that the product will be bottled immediately before shipping. As we do not freshly bottle every product every day, the remaining shelf life upon arrival may be considerably shorter.
Nevertheless, our products generally remain enjoyable to eat well beyond the best-before date, so please do not discard them prematurely. The best-before date refers not only to edibility but also to sensory qualities such as colour, texture and flavour. Over time, our products generally develop a more intense aroma and a darker colour.
To best preserve the original colour and aroma of our Umami Butter, we recommend storing it in the refrigerator.
