01 — Something alive

Most drinks are made. This one is grown — a living culture, time, and nothing to hurry it.

Gut friendly

Fermento describes itself simply: healthy, tasty, gut friendly. Kefir cultures do the work — dozens of strains of bacteria and yeast living together in a single grain.

02 — Inside the bottle

01

Culture

A kefir grain is a living community: lactic-acid bacteria, acetic-acid bacteria and yeasts, bound in a soft polysaccharide matrix.

02

Time

Twelve to thirty-six hours at room temperature. Sugars become acids and carbon dioxide. Nothing is added to make it fizz.

03

Multiply

The grains grow a little every day and are used again and again. The culture is older than any single bottle.

03 — Transformation

04

Fruit, or nothing at all

A second, shorter ferment with mango or kiwi builds flavour and a soft natural sparkle. The Signature stays clean.

05

Turning gold

Cloudy becomes clear, pale becomes straw. The culture has finished; the drink is still alive.

The flagship

Fermento GOLD

Bottled in flint glass with a gold lug cap and honest headspace, because a living drink keeps breathing after it is sealed.
