Halen Mon Pure Sea Salt with Umami No 2 100g

Umami Sea Salt

Some seasonings end up being used for one specific dish. Others gradually make their way into almost everything. Halen Mon Pure Sea Salt with Umami No 2 100g definitely sits in the second category. Inspired by a restaurant in New York and a chef called Shane, this savoury seasoning blend was created to bring a deeper, fuller flavour to food rather than simply adding saltiness.

The first thing you notice is a rich savoury hit, followed by layers of flavour that keep building. There is a rounded depth with almost cheese-like notes from the yeast, a gentle background warmth and an addictive savoury finish that explains why so many people call it a kitchen staple. The powder-like texture coats food beautifully too, meaning every bite gets the same flavour rather than the seasoning sitting on the surface.

This is one we've been reaching for regularly around Infusions4Chefs. We love it tossed through hot chips straight from the oven, shaken over freshly popped popcorn for movie nights, or whisked into a simple vinaigrette for salad leaves. It also works brilliantly over crispy roast potatoes, scattered onto croutons before baking or stirred through buttery mashed potato.

What does umami actually mean?

Umami is often described as the fifth taste alongside sweet, salty, bitter and sour. It creates a deep savoury flavour associated with ingredients such as aged cheeses, mushrooms, soy sauce and slow-cooked foods.

Why do umami flavours make food taste richer?

Umami compounds can help enhance and round out existing flavours in food, making dishes feel fuller and more satisfying without necessarily making them taste stronger.

Which foods naturally contain umami?

Tomatoes, mushrooms, parmesan, cured meats, soy sauce, anchovies and yeast-based ingredients are all naturally rich in umami compounds, which is why they are often used to build depth in cooking.

Ingredients:
