In today’s modern world where, people get what they want as fast as possible, whether it be food, products, or solutions, there remains something incredibly mesmerizing about the historic and unhurried art of fermentation. The time-honored process of fermentation is most commonly passed from generation to generation, and there is perhaps no greater personification of nature intersecting with humanity’s indelible desire for artisanship. At Cultured Traditions, this renowned craftsmanship is flourishing, not just in the jars of sauerkraut and beet kvass, but in the very fabric of their traditions. It can be seen in each handmade product, in each specially crafted jar, and in every exciting bubble that the passion of old-fashioned workmanship combines with modern palettes in an exhilarating way.
A Sumptuous Adventure Begins
Just for a moment picture strolling into a quaint kitchen and bursting forth is the rich smell of earth and the aroma of fermenting vegetables. You are transported to an altogether different time and place—evocative cobbled street paths of many an Eastern European village or, more specifically, a cold Russian farm before harvesting. This is where, between pots and jars filled with delectable ferments, Cultured Traditions was born.
The modest story of Cultured Traditions starts with an intense love, which many call addiction, that began in the frozen plains of Russia. The creator, originally from Russia, was raised on the distinctive flavors and health benefits that originate with ancient fermentation techniques. Sauerkraut, pickled cucumbers, and the tangy charm of beet kvass were not only staples of the uniquely cold country but, more accurately, an inherent way of daily life. In the more often than not freezing landscape of Russia, fermented goods are just delightful food sources—they were necessary life-saving nourishment that propelled families through harsh winters and hard labor.
The moment of revelation arrived: the concept that this invaluable tradition could in fact find new life in different lands, providing nourishing and wholesale health benefits of these old-world-style foods.
The Core of Fermentation
The philosophy of Cultured Traditions is straightforward: it’s not only about creating delectable fermented goods—it’s about developing a living product, full of life and advantageous bacteria. Within every single jar of sauerkraut and beet kvass is a host of flourishing organisms, beneficial microorganisms, that essentially function in creating balance within the body’s microbiome. It is vital to mention that Cultured Tradition’s fermented delicacies have received none of the pasteurization or stripping of their valuable nutrients that many fermented products undergo—Cultured Traditions ferments their goods the traditional way, raw, thriving, and full of life.
