Sweet, red cabbages, green fennel seeds and sea salt are wild fermented in dark barrels that rest in Victoria's Central Highlands. This delicious, FODMAP-friendly kraut is alive with bacteria to soothe the fussiest of tummies and tastes.

The Red Kraut (Rød Kraut) stems from my years in Denmark where it was served warm and usually with some apple and butter through it. You can still do that - cook the apple in butter and cool it to room temp. and mix the kraut through. But you don't need to. It has a lovely mild warmth of fennel seed and the sweetness of red cabbage. Pairs well with anything creamy like potato gratin, or a creamy pasta, on crackers with soft cheese or through a salad or Buddha bowl. It's quite popular with Buddha bowls, lots of avocado, a grain, a cashew dressing - adds a zing and a depth of flavour just like that. 

The Fermentary is the culmination of a life-long passion of Sharon Flynn, considered to be Australia’s foremost expert on fermentation. Sharon spent more than 20 years immersing herself in the flavours and techniques of the ancient art of slow fermentation in Malaysia, Japan, Europe and the US, before setting up her own space in the regional Victorian town of Daylesford in 2013.

The Fermentary ferment in small-batches, naturally culturing food and drinks, slowly and with minimal intervention. They aim to source their ingredients as locally and in season as possible, with each season ending with salvaged fruits that are used for their water kefirs. They use local vegetables, Australian native botanicals, herbs, barks and Franklinford spring water, so each of their ferments captures the unique tastes of their region. And, unlike current food standards which encourages anonymity, they don’t use any synthetic starter cultures or other processes to help speed their ferments – making them 'wild fermenters'.
