Umami is one of the five basic tastes!

First identified and named in Japan, it’s the deep savoury taste you get from foods rich in glutamates, like mushrooms, miso, soy sauce, tomatoes, parmesan, and red meat.

Glutamates are what makes food taste good, and you can even buy them in pure crystal form at the Asian grocer, otherwise known as MSG powder!

We sometimes use this useful shortcut in our lazy home cooking, but we never use MSG in for what we make for Salt Gang.

We’re excellent cooks, so we work hard to bring you ultimate umami with no industrially made additives!

All the crispy bits and depth of flavour, but no chilli heat.

If you’ve missed out on the crispy chilli oil craze because you don’t like chilli, this is for you!

Umami Crisp is rich, aromatic, , perfectly balanced, with flavour hand packed into every process.

Our cold-pressed base oil is slow simmered with 14+ spices, garlic, and bay for over 12 hours, so it’s layered with rich aromatics even before the chilli hits the oil.

We’ve built flavour into every single layer, so you can put it on anything to make it taste finished.

On anything! Umami Crisp is super savoury so it will do the heavy flavour lifting for you.

Pile onto steak and greens, spoon over soups, toss through noodles, melt into cheese toasties, crown boiled eggs and soldiers, rice bowls, roast veg, dumplings, fried eggs.

You can keep in the pantry out of direct light, but refrigerate after opening for best freshness and crisp.

Crisp will keep for years, but eat within a month for best texture and flavour.

Like many famous hotties, this product may consciously uncouple (separate). Shake or stir well before pouring.
