About us
Uhhmami – A New Way of Cooking for a Greener Future
Uhhmami is the result of a culinary vision driven by Michelin Chef Frank Lantz, who has redefined how we build deep, complex flavors in food – without relying on animal-based products or artificial additives. Born from years of research and innovation in fermentation, Uhhmami offers a new way of cooking that combines gourmet taste with clean, sustainable ingredients.
Our products are developed for professional kitchens that demand full flavor, consistency, and ease of use – whether you run a restaurant, canteen, catering company, or ready meal production. With Uhhmami, it’s never been easier to cook with depth, richness, and umami – and still take part in the green transition.
🌱 Our Philosophy: Less Meat. More Taste.
At Uhhmami, we believe that the future of food lies in smart, sustainable cooking – not sacrifice. That’s why we’ve created culinary tools that make it easy to reduce meat consumption without compromising flavor. Our ingredients are plant-based, clean label, allergen-friendly, and developed to meet the high demands of professional chefs.
We help kitchens reduce CO₂, save time, simplify workflows, and improve flavor – all in one scoop.
🥣 Two Product Categories – Infinite Possibilities
1. Bouillon & Fond – The Backbone of Flavor
Our range of bouillons and fonds deliver deep, natural flavor in seconds. Made from fermented vegetables and herbs, they add structure and soul to soups, sauces, stews, grains, and plant-based proteins.
Just 20 grams per liter is enough to create a full-bodied broth with clean, rounded taste – ideal for mise en place or finishing. The range includes:
Vegetables – a classic all-round base
Ocean’Ish – built on fermented herbs, perfect for light and fresh seafood-style broths
Chicken’Ish – inspired by slow-cooked poultry
Beef’Ish – a deep and roasted alternative to veal stock
All variants are available in 40g and 400g formats with multi-language labeling.
2. Taste & Flavor – Precision Umami for Creative Chefs
Our innovative seasoning powders are fermented and concentrated to deliver specific flavor profiles that elevate any dish – hot or cold, plant-based or traditional. Used at just 1–2% of total dish weight, these tools unlock gourmet taste without salt, sugar, yeast extract, or artificial flavorings.
The lineup includes:
Chee’Ish – A cheesy, Parmesan-style flavor with no dairy
Blue Chee’Ish – Funky, bold, and complex like blue cheese
Truffle’Ish – Earthy, rich, and luxurious
Bacon’Ish – Savory and smoky with deep umami tones
Whether you're making sauces, dips, spreads, pasta, dressings, or plant-based charcuterie, these flavor boosters are an easy way to create signature taste.
