Born from the culinary crossroads of Italian aromatica and modern umami science, this powerhouse blend does the work of 10 separate spice jars.
The dual garlic format (powder + granulated) creates instant and slow-release depth, while nutritional yeast adds a Parmesan-like savouriness without dairy. Smoked paprika and mustard lend a subtle smoky backbone, with lemon zest cutting through richness like a squeeze of fresh citrus.
Unlike single-note garlic salts, this blend evolved from professional kitchens seeking to maximize flavor layers efficiently. The combination of glutamates (yeast) and nucleotides (celery seed) creates a proven umami synergy, while Mediterranean herbs pay homage to traditional European seasoning bases.
