SARDINE GARUM UMAMI ‘DUST’

Australian umami - REIMAGINED

UMAMI DUST
A world-first finishing ingredient - sardine garum is an intensely fine savoury powder. Designed for use in the same space as
bottarga or truffle.

The UMARA Story

UMARA is the premium flavour brand built from our Port Lincoln Sardine Garum, crafted from sustainably sourced South Australian sardines. In collaboration with SARDI, we’ve developed a new format, a concentrated umami dust, bringing ancient fermentation from over 2000 years ago into a modern Australian context.

TASTING NOTES

Aroma
Clean marine intensity with notes of dried seafood, warm savoury depth and a subtle cured character. Reminiscent of bottarga, with a finer, more lifted aromatic profile.

Palate
Immediate umami impact followed by a rounded, savoury richness. The flavour builds across the palate, anchovy-like depth without harshness, balanced by a natural salinity and a long, coating finish.

Texture
Ultra-fine, free-flowing powder that dissolves instantly on contact, delivering flavour without weight. Designed to integrate seamlessly or finish with precision.

Finish
Lingering, mouth-coating savouriness with a clean, persistent aftertaste that enhances rather than dominates.
