umami butter 100g

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.

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.

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.

Our Umami Butter has a best-before date of 6 months from bottling, but usually has a much longer shelf life. Although it can also be stored at room temperature, we recommend keeping it in the fridge - especially if you want to store it for a longer period of time. This preserves the quality as much as possible.
