Have you heard about the fifth basic taste, umami? Umami translates to "pleasant savoury taste". You can taste umami in foods that contain a high level of the amino acid glutamate, like miso, some wines, and Parmesan cheese. Seafood's complex flavours and textures find their ideal match in the tangy, umami-rich world of fermented foods. This savoury, mouthwatering flavour is amplified when these two food groups are combined. So, next time you're planning a seafood feast, remember to elevate your dining experience with the perfect fermented pairing.
