Umami packed

This squid ink is rich, briny, and gives pasta and risotto that dramatic deep black color with an unmistakable umami kick. It blends easily into sauces and dough, and a little goes a long way. Perfect for making homemade squid ink tagliatelle or paella nero. If you cook for flavor and drama—this is it.

For special occasions and people who enjoy

I created a savory black martini for an event. Add a black olive and it is especially "dirty." Delightful and fishy.
