Hi thanks for this.

Have allergy to Parmesan and all cooked cheese, so do we just leave out?

Thanks

[Tenina]

Yes leave it out. You could add mushrooms, cooked or uncooked to the paste. Are there uncooked cheeses you are good with?

[droverjess]

Thanks Tenina very much.
I sometimes eat a wee bit of mild cheddar, or locally made Mutchli (Swiss type) or Philly/mascarpone/ricotta/cottage cheeses.
Never strong cheese, never Brie type or blue type.
I guess the effects of the cooked cheese and Parmesan making me very sick has put me off cheese in general. Thanks for asking.

[Tenina]

Probably none of those cheeses are suitable in Umami, so just go with the mushrooms! Let me know if that works for you taste wise!!

Thank you for posting this - so nice to have a demonstration.  I have made the Umami paste but with only two of us (and one not very adventurous) I ended up throwing some of it out as it went mouldy.  Never thought to freeze it but will make another batch this afternoon and keep a small jar in fridge and then freeze the remainder.

I put mine  into an ice cube tray and turned them out. So now all I have to do is get an ice cube of Unami out of the freezer.

How long does it keep?

[Aussie Brenda]

TL it doesn't keep that long even though it is refrigerated, I put half in the freezer last time, when that is finished and I make the next batch I'm going to put in the ice cube trays and freeze the lot as my refrigerated lot went mouldy again, I forget to use it.

I put mine into ice cube trays and freeze it. I then turn the cubes out and put them in a zip lock bag.

Do you use it sparingly or like you would use stock paste? Because my veggie stock paste goes into anything and is used up within 2 weeks. I am just asking because my freezer is filling up fast at the moment!
