Fermented love

I can’t quite pinpoint where my love of fermentation began. Was it in the science? The undisputed health benefits for my family? The elegant descriptions and photographs in cookbooks? The opportunity for me to turn my home grown produce into something that lasted well beyond the season? Or maybe it was just inspired by the undeniable deliciousness of the end product. Probably a combination of all the things, mixing and melding and bubbling away together – not unlike the contents of the many jars you will usually find on my kitchen bench.

Our ingredients

We work with many local suppliers to source to source the quality fresh ingredients that go into our krauts, relishes, pastes and kombuchas.

Fermented foods are living foods. Unlike many commercial companies, we don’t pasturise, so as to keep the beneficial bacteria alive.

The frequency of eating fermented food is more important than the quantity. Try adding a side of fermented food to every meal as this will ensure a continuous supply of beneficial bacteria.
