Intense flavours such as \u2018bacon\u2019, \u2018truffle\u2019 and \u2018cheese\u2019 \u2013 which instantly enhance the savouriness of vegan dishes \u2013 are the secret to Frank Lantz\u2019s award-winning series of bouillons and granules named Uhhmami. In developing the product range, the Danish chef was deeply inspired by classic gourmet cuisine where bouillon has been adding flavour for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI developed the Uhhmami series to make eating a plant-based diet an easy, flavourful experience. Cooking vegan and vegetarian dishes often involves a lot of time-consuming steps intended to enhance and enrich the taste, such as fermenting or grilling vegetables. The Uhhmami granules are umami cluster bombs that instantly add the intense, deep and full-bodied taste sought by many as they go about making green everyday meals,\u201d explains Frank Lantz, a qualified chef who has been a cuisine entrepreneur for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frank Lantz has brilliantly exploited a gap in the market in both the foodservice and retail sectors, but particularly abroad where plant-based diets are rapidly gaining wider acceptance than in Denmark, explains Pernille Bundg\u00e5rd, International Market Director for Organic Denmark, which works to ensure the success of Denmark\u2019s organic export ventures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are many reasons why Uhhmami won this year\u2019s award. Various flavour enhancers and bouillons are already available in the market, so the product type is familiar, but in terms of quality and taste, Uhhmami is in a league of its own. Several of the major foreign chains were somewhat sceptical at first, but once they tasted the products, they were knocked off their feet. And in addition to the taste, Uhhmami is distinguished by being carefully conceived in every aspect. The granules manifest resounding artisanal quality as they are easy to use, and the packaging is elegantly designed and comes in sizes that meet the needs of both the retail and foodservice sectors. A Dane winning this award is huge,\u201d concludes Pernille Bundg\u00e5rd, who in her export manager career has only once before experienced a Danish company being lauded for being behind the best new organic product. That was in 2018 when Copenhagen Sparkling Tea won the prestigious award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Pernille Bundg\u00e5rd, it is because of a unique, innovative \u2013 yet uncompromising \u2013 approach to quality and being able to pinpoint new trends that Danish entrepreneurs like Frank Lantz so impress international players, where Uhhmami has already attracted much more attention than in Denmark:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe plant-based diet trend is clearly much stronger abroad, such as in Germany, which has a big appetite for our products. We\u2019ve always believed that Uhhmami can fill a gap both in Denmark and abroad and that we should be uncompromising in terms of quality, ingredients and taste. But I\u2019m truly astonished and proud that our products have been so well received and that they have gone on to beat thousands of new products from all over the world,\u201d says Frank Lantz, who launched his Uhhmami series last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
