What Are Fermented Seasonings?
What Are Fermented Seasonings?

Fermented seasonings are made by taking fresh peppers, vegetables, and spices through a natural lacto-fermentation that lasts several weeks. Once fully developed, the mixture is dried to lock in the tang, umami, and aromatic qualities created during fermentation.

While live cultures naturally diminish during drying, the flavor compounds remain, offering the same depth and complexity in a shelf-stable form. The result is a seasoning that delivers the unique profile of fermentation without liquid — perfect for when you want flavor without the acidity..

While live cultures naturally fade during drying, the concentrated flavor compounds remain, preserving the complexity and character of the original ferment in a convenient, shelf-stable form.

How to Use Fermented Seasoning?

Start with cooking — they add incredible depth to roasted vegetables, grilled meats, soups, and stews. They’re also perfect for rimming cocktail glasses, adding a savory kick to drinks.

Use them like a finishing salt over eggs, salads, or even fresh fruit. A little goes a long way, especially with hotter blends. Try them on popcorn, in compound butters, or mixed into marinades for an instant boost of fermented flavor.
