The seed for Oomite was planted back in 2017, when we (Katie Graham and Magdalena Roze) both had the idea of making a 100% natural mitey spread packed with real ingredients and amazing flavour, and we both told Darren (Mag’s chef partner Darren Robertson) about it. We didn’t know each other then, so Daz connected us and we decided to collaborate!
After almost two years of recipe testing (it's not that easy to make an all-natural, umami-packed, thick spread!), and many many loaves of sourdough and cultured butter, we made something that we found delicious and addictive. Using premium, real ingredients was a given, but it was equally important for us to get that mitey flavour.
To be sure, we tested it on chef mates, and when they begged us for more, we knew that it’s time to hit go!
Our batches will remain small for a while. As there is nothing artificial added to Oomite, like thickeners and stablisers, it is hand-filled. And, one of our ingredients is an organic, very slow-fermented miso.
But, the flavour is big! So as Daz put it “use it like gold dust!”
We’ve had the most wonderful support from our local food community (we actually got our tag line “Everything’s better with Oomite!” from chef David Lovett!) and we’re so excited to share it with you.
We hope you love it.
