Louisville Business Releases Umami Flavor Enhancer
(Monday, June 01, 2009) Louisville, KY – Dolce, LLC, based in downtown Louisville, has released a new umami flavor enhancer and soup stock base called, Ooohmami!™. Dolce owner, Rachel Colvin Torres, hopes to use this new product to expand into the global marketplace.
Ooohmami!™ is a unique blend of all natural vegetable and nutritional ingredients that evoke the fifth taste called, umami: savory and meaty flavor sensations found most commonly in mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese, and grilled meat. Ooohmami!™ utilizes synergistic combinations of organic shittake mushrooms, organic kombu (kelp), nutritional yeast, and organic tomatoes to bring out this flavor without the use of any animal or synthetic products. Ooohmami!™ is a perfect substitute for monosodium glutamate for cooks looking for a flavor/savory boost. It is also a perfect substitute for chicken stock, helping cooks easily create soups and enhance flavors. Each 4.5 ounce bag makes 85 cups of soup.
Owner and Executive Chef, Rachel Colvin Torres, learned about umami while studying synergistic glutamate compounds at the Women Chefs and Restaurateurs National Conference in Atlanta in November 2006. She has been working on prototypes for over three years and has finalized both packaging and ingredient details to sell Ooohmami!™ in a variety of retail outlets in addition to the online store at www.ooohmami.com.
Dolce was formerly a single employee operation with a primary focus on selling desserts and baked goods to Louisville’s fine dining establishments. The operation has recently expanded to create nutrient dense deli items to local health food stores in addition to the production of Ooohmami!™ soup base and flavor enhancer.
