THE ELITE AMONG THE FISH After countless adjustments and testings, the culinary innovators behind Chefs Umami were faced with a challenge of phasing out of conventional manoeuvres in gourmet fish handling. As a result Andrus Miller, former scientist and 6th generation Gulf of Finland fisherman, has successfully started one of the most innovative companies in industry. It all began with his dream that a more innovative approach to gourmet fish handling management will enable umami occur naturally in Finnish Archipelago rainbow trout. The innovation of ultimate taste—New Nordic Fish—has been created. By today the idea is in production—Nordic Umami is here and with great praise from some of Finland's and Estonia's most prominent chefs. A fish with the uniquely authentic taste experience. And with an eye for local, Gulf of Finland fish, Archipelago Umami Trout among others. “I have always felt great love towards Nordic nature. It’s simplicity, freshness and purity inspire me day after day. Chefs Umami's innovation fits perfectly with my cooking philosophy–it combines traditions and modern technology in a way that makes possible to take cooking to next level. Ethically and respecting the nature.” – Pekka Terävä, President of Finnish Bocuse d’Or
In the parish of Kambja, at the borderline of Tartumaa (25 kilometers from Tartu) is a farm where cows are called Mummukesed (“Dotsies”), they’re caressed and meditated with. Cows care about the people here and the people do everything possible that the animals have a safe and secure environment. Do you know how gentle this seemingly large animal can be? Have you ever touched cheeks with them and heard each other breathe? We have 180 dairy cows who produce quality milk which we have sent to major processing plants, the future of the produce is unknown to us, something we would like to change. Today we have started the course to building a dairy farm to start producing cheese. We wish to produce cheese worthy of the love and pride of us, our animals and our clients. Our history goes back to the times of our ancestors, the current head farmer’s grandfather had his own farm here as well. Novelty is in our blood. Already during the first tenure of Estonia’s independence the cattle could drink from automatic water dispensers and the fields were the subject of novel agrotechnical methods to increase the crop yield. The current farm establishment has been operating since 1999, starting with only 20 cows to the 360 cows of today. The cows are milked with four Lely robot milking systems.
