Our Story

At UMIKAH, we believe great flavor tells a story. Every jar we create is a nostalgic love letter to the places we've been, and the people and experiences that have shaped our journey.

UMIKAH was born from a lifelong love of citrus and a deep appreciation for global culinary traditions. I am a professionally trained pastry chef (French Culinary Institute) and former business executive, who spent years exploring flavors abroad.

While working as a freelance food writer, I noticed that many fruit spreads on the shelf felt predictable — and saw an opportunity to create something more vibrant, globally inspired, and chef-driven. UMIKAH became my way to unite both worlds: culinary creativity and thoughtful brand storytelling.

The name UMIKAH comes from my children, Uma and Micah — my first tasters, and the inspiration behind so many of these flavors.

From passion fruit curd inspired by summers in Venezuela, to a yuzu blend echoing the quiet elegance of Kyoto, every flavor is intentional. Each recipe balances brightness and acidity, natural sweetness, with a smooth texture — made the slow way, honest ingredients, small batches, and never any shortcuts.

UMIKAH is made for curious food lovers, passionate home bakers, and pastry professionals alike — delivering chef-inspired flavor, texture, and quality without unnecessary complexity.

UMIKAH is a two-time SOFI™ Awards Finalist brand: our Yuzu & Lime Curd earned Finalist honors in 2026 and again in 2027, when our Tropical Curd was also named a 2027 Finalist in the Spreads category.

This isn't just a spread. It's a spark — for your morning ritual, your next dessert, or a quiet moment of indulgence.
