About Alive Ferments

Alive Ferments is a family-owned business founded by Niccolo and Sasha Fraschetti - culinary experts and fermentation enthusiasts. With Sasha's experience in wine production and organic farming and Niccolo's gastronomy background, we launched Alive Ferments in March 2022. But where did it all start? Well, our story is rooted in our childhood memories - specifically, our longing for Mexican food when we moved back to Italy after spending several years in California. We often made our own salsa but found that it would spoil within a few days. So, we turned to fermentation to preserve our creations. By adding starter culture from our sauerkraut to our salsa, we discovered that it not only stayed fresh but also developed a bright, fizzy flavor over time. This was a lightbulb moment for us - we realized that fermentation was a fantastic way to preserve food and enhance its flavor and nutritional value. Today, Alive Ferments makes prebiotic and probiotic-rich foods that promote a healthy immune system and digestive tract. Join us on this journey promoting cultural, and biological diversity for a sustainable world through fermented foods!Read their story
