savoriest
Richest in taste
Savoriest is the superlative of savory—the most flavorful, the richest in taste.
It describes food with the deepest, most satisfying flavor among a group: the savoriest dish on the menu, the savoriest bite of the whole meal.
The word applies to savory in both senses: full of flavor generally, or specifically not sweet.
