flavoursome

Full of taste

Flavoursome describes food or drink with a strong, appealing taste—full of flavour rather than bland or subtle: a flavoursome broth, surprisingly flavoursome for a low-fat dish.

The word is more common in British English; Americans tend toward flavorful.

It carries a slightly old-fashioned or homey quality.
