Why UMARA Dust?

UMARA is a premium flavour brand born from our Port Lincoln Sardine Garum, crafted from sustainably sourced South Australian sardines (Sardinops sagax).

Working alongside SARDI, we transformed this ancient fermented ingredient into a concentrated umami dust, a world-first innovation that combines South Australian seafood, scientific research and a culinary tradition dating back more than 2,000 years.
