About a century ago, a Japanese scientist started using umami to describe the fifth taste, beyond sweet, sour, bitter and salty.  It is the savory or full mouth sensation found in foods like sweet potatoes, green tea, soy sauce, meat, and parmesan cheese.

Sweet Marguerites has developed a delicious sampling of five chocolates based on the principles of umami.  Sometimes savory or tangy, never too sweet, these chocolates combine different ingredients to create chocolates that are both unusual and delightful… a perfect balance of flavors and a perfect way to experience umami!
