Perfect little flavour kicker
If you love spicy food, ignore the negative comments. I can imagine that this would be too spicy for someone who is predominantly into mild flavours, but if you like a decent kick, this is somewhere in the middle of the road, but far away from any ‘blow your butt off’ moments. It’s actually lovely. I tasted it first straight from the bottle. It gives a vegetable flavour with a nice little kick. It’s not overwhelming, won’t take away from the food flavours and if you start with a few drops, adjust what works the best for you. Excellent quality, very versatile and can be used in soups as well as main meals. Personally, total value for money, and I will be buying more of it. Absolute 10/10 for me.

Superb superb
A light liquid. Slightly brown. Tastes savoury,salty,meaty slightly like marmite however totally delicious. I have added to flavour pasta and ramen noodles,absolutely superb ,I cannot recommend enough. There are many excellent savoury liquids,knorr gel trays I find excellent but this unami liquid is quite staggeringly good.

Softer more nuanced umami taste.
Yondu Vegetable Umami Essence combines fermented soy and vegetable stock. it adds a softer more nuanced umami taste than for instance an aged soy-sauce. Hence, is a versatile condiment that is useful in a range of dishes. It isn't cheap but is economical in use. At 15% sodium, I would like to see a reduced sodium option. Hence four stars

40% good 60% SALTY
The taste is REALLY GREAT but it’s REALLY SALTY IF THEY COULD REDUCE 50% OF THE SALT WOULD BE 100%

Wow, a seasoning that packs a fantastic umami punch.
A chef friend recommended this product, and what can I say? I LOVE IT. Yondu helps round out any dish, and I mean ANY dish. Soups, stews, noodle dishes, bolognese—any dish at all is improved with Yondu; I have yet to find one that isn't. It is salty, as it has a soy sauce base, so I suggest any seasoning occurs after adding Yondu and tasting to avoid embarrassing over-salting incidents. Get a small bottle first to ensure you like it, but I recommend getting the big one if you do. It is cheaper ml for ml. I have also created a subscribe and save to reduce the price by another 10% as it is quite a pricey ingredient. It is well worth it, though; I used to just buy granulated MSG (which is way cheaper), but after blind tasting a dish both with Yondu and with MSG (I halved it and then added), the Yondu won out and by a massive margin (this was the case for my whole household). This is one of those times when going the expensive route is the right choice. That's the subjective opinion but what about the objective? Well, it's a quality product, organic, vegan, and best of all it's not horrendous for you. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Ottimo sapore. Da aggiungere all'acqua per preparare brodi o alle verdure per insaporire.

Buonissima provata finalmente ieri. Arriva confezionata benissimo in una scatolina di carta con all'interno il prodotto con attaccato un etichetta con scritto gli ingredienti in lingua italiana. La sua composizione è salutare senza zucchero o altri conservanti nocivi. È un prodotto che dà sapore ai piatti e allo stesso tempo fa bene alla flora batterica dell'intestino. Non è una salsa di soia classica ma di colore molto più chiaro e il sapore simile alla soia ma delicato. Aggiornamento Ricomprata agosto 2024 meravigliosa come sempre ho preso infatti la misura un po' più grande

Trop bon. C'est facile a utiliser sur des nouilles chinoises ou sautées pour redonner un goût doux au bouillon
