What is Umami Flavor?

The Japanese word for a pleasant savory taste is “Umami”.  The umami flavor has become very popular over the last few decades. It has become so popular that in the ’80s, it was added as one of the basic taste groups.  So not only is there sweet, salty, savory, and bitter but now umami has been added to that.  This flavor can be described as brothy yet meaty, a true savoriness that lingers.  Mushrooms are known to have that umami flavor, as well as soy sauce, seaweed, miso, even parmesan cheese.  

Why Porcini mushrooms?

Porcini mushrooms are most famously known to be grown in Italy, they are one of their most famous mushrooms.  They have a meaty yet nutty flavor which makes them a delicacy.  They are not as commonly found as other types of mushrooms which is why they are used in more gourmet types of food.
