Call it the fifth taste, call it the X factor, call it that certain something . Call it anything, or call it nothing at all, just a satisfied sigh. With our favorite foods, when words fail, we’re likely in the glorious grip of umami, that unplaceable but unmistakable salty-savory-something that makes us take just one more bite, that can give even the most monastic foodies the late-night munchies. Umami is everywhere. All of which means, you’re in luck, because even if we can’t exactly define umami, we can box it up and land it on your doorstep. Salivating yet?

Umami Reserve Hot Sauce // Seed Ranch Flavor Co. // Boulder, CO
Barbecued Umami Corn Recipe Here
Ask a food scientist to describe Umami and this what you’ll hear: savouriness, meaty, broth-like, rich intensity —a huge flavor bomb. This sauce is engineered to deliver Umami, leveraging Umami cornerstones like porcini mushrooms and dried olives and combining them with the famed chocolate habanero pepper and fresh garlic. The result? A sauce that can wake up any brothy soup, taco, burger or thing, that needs a big flavorful backbone. Like the tuba kid in the back or the humble bass player, this sauce does the heavy lifting to provide BIG flavor in just a couple drops.

From The Maker:
For as long as I can remember, my Bachan — you might say Granny — would cook up the most amazing meals with our umami–filled, teriyaki-ish sauce! The recipe has been passed down and perfected over generations and today, my family and I are honored to share our authentic Japanese Barbecue Sauce with you.
To stay true to the original recipe, we cold-fill our sauce — which eliminates any need for additives, preservatives, or flavorings. Our crave-worthy flavor comes naturally from delicious, clean ingredients. Let’s eat!

Kickin’ Sriracha Free Range Turkey Jerky // Mission Meats // Decorah, IA
The jerky aisle can be a dizzying selection of low grade, uninspired, over-processed cardboard snacks that underwhelm. But how do you level up? You go on a mission to crack open this bag and dive into lean, protein-rich turkey with just the right amount of kick. Make no mistake, the umami formula is alive and well in this bag with obvious meatiness and just enough funk from the sriracha spice.
Fiddyment Farms // Barbeque Pistachios // Lincoln , CA
Barbecue Chicken Lettuce Cups With Pistachios & UFO Sauce Recipe Here
Whether you’re crafting cocktails or just throwing back cold beers, a proper nut worth its salt is a no brainer. Introducing, Fiddyment Farms, who have been growing, roasting and packing premium pistachios on the family farm in the heart of California since 1968. Their chili-lime flavor is another standout but we love the barbecue pistachios for their bold smoky flavor with a hit of sweetness.
Let’s face it when the temperature rises and the ‘cue gets fired up, cracking pistachios with an icy beverage while watching something char on the grill is one of life’s simple pleasure.
