About Vumami Foods
Vumami Foods was started by Lauren Isherwood and Nicholas Baingo, a British Columbian couple who went plant-based and were looking for something to bring more excitement to their new diet. They started working with different spices and ingredients looking for something to mimic the deep, rich, umami flavour normally associated with meat. Through much trial and error, they found a perfect blend of Eastern and Western flavours, mixed with cooked shiitake mushrooms, that provides the savoury flavour and mouthfeel that they missed and their first product, Umami Bomb, was born. Umami Bomb is a one-of-a-kind premium shiitake chili oil that adds bold, savoury, spicy flavour to any dish. Vumami Foods is based in Sidney, BC.
