Our story
Fermentierra is a Swiss artisanal, family-owned business. Our goal is to share our passion for the time-honored technique of lacto-fermentation. Drawing on our experience and love of cooking, we offer a range of products inspired by flavors from around the world, the seasons, and local organic produce. Our philosophy is simple: to share the culinary and nutritional benefits of fermented vegetables and to support a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle. Sharing knowledge is an integral part of Fermentierra. We love to share what we’ve learned over the years, make fermentation easy to understand, and give everyone the basics they need to experiment on their own. Our workshops are designed as a journey, where you learn by doing, tasting, and sharing. Laurent skillfully blends precision, anecdotes, humor, and improvisation to create a friendly and accessible experience, during which everyone can ask questions, experiment, make mistakes, and leave with real, practical knowledge. Beyond the technical aspects, these workshops are also places to connect. We talk about cooking, microbes, traditions, seasons, and sometimes much more. The idea isn’t just to leave with a few jars, but with the desire and confidence to continue at home.
