Uhhmami

Uhhmami – The Future of Flavorful, Sustainable Cooking Uhhmami is an innovative foodtech startup revolutionizing the way we create flavor in cooking. Founded by Michelin-starred chef Frank Lantz, Uhhmami merges sustainability with culinary expertise to deliver natural, plant-based flavor enhancers that elevate any dish—from professional kitchens to home cooks. The Problem We Solve The green transition in the food industry is challenged by flavor. Many plant-based alternatives lack depth and umami, making it difficult to create satisfying dishes without animal products. At the same time, many flavor enhancers contain artificial additives, which contradicts the growing consumer demand for clean ingredients. Why Uhhmami? We offer a new approach to taste by using fermentation to develop intense, natural flavor profiles—without compromising quality or sustainability. With just a small amount of our products, chefs and food lovers can achieve the same depth, richness, and complexity that traditionally require animal-based ingredients. A Growing Product Portfolio Uhhmami continues to expand its product range to meet the evolving needs of chefs, restaurants, and home cooks. From our award-winning bouillons and fonds to innovative cheese alternatives, plant-based flavor boosters, and delicious side-stream food products, our expanding portfolio ensures that cooking sustainably never means compromising on taste. By utilizing high-quality food side streams, we reduce waste while enhancing flavor, making every meal a step toward a more circular and responsible food system. Proof of Concept & Awards Uhhmami’s innovative approach to sustainable flavor has earned global recognition with multiple prestigious awards: 🏆 The World’s Best Organic Product – Biofach 2023 🏆 The World’s Most Innovative – SIAL 2022 Paris 🏆 Sustainability Award – Horecava 2024 Holland 🏆 Best New Free From Product – Innovation Awards 2023 Malmö 🏆 Best International Product UK – Quality Food Awards 2023 These accolades confirm Uhhmami’s ability to redefine plant-based cooking, making sustainable and climate-friendly meals more flavorful and accessible than ever. With Uhhmami, restaurants, canteens, and home cooks can create climate-friendly meals without sacrificing taste. We make it easier to make sustainable choices—without compromising the culinary experience.
