Alive Ferments
“Alive Ferments is family owned and operated by founding brothers Niccolo and Sasha Fraschetti.
Both with an extensive culinary background and a passion for fermented foods, with Sasha’s experience in wine production and organic farming, they launched Alive Ferments with their first line of fermented products in March 2022.
With more living product lines to come!
Eight mild and spicy variations of a Naturally Fermented Cultured Chili Sauce, rich in beneficial enzymes and prebiotics, four of which are also raw and rich in live probiotics.
Our story dates back to our childhood; Moving back to Italy after living in California for several years, we always craved Mexican food. If we could get our hands on the right ingredients, we’d make huge batches of salsa that would sadly spoil after a few days.
Our garden often gave us larger harvests than we could handle; we knew fermentation was a great way to preserve food, so we added a few spoonfuls of starter culture from our sauerkraut to our salsa, which kept it fresh for weeks, giving it a bright, fizzy flavor.
We became inspired; what better way to preserve them than fermenting them!?”
