Umami Papi is Australia's cult chili oil brand, founded by Ethan Yong. The name is a play on words — umami is a Japanese word for flavour and Papi is a Spanish word for father figure, so put together it means "flavour daddy."

The brand started off with just chili oil and now has a couple more products, with one more on the way. Ethan's ethos is that if it tastes good and there's a lot of flavour in it, he'll make it spicy or not spicy — but currently there's an element of chilli in all the products.
