The Art of Fermentation: A Journey from Beet to Bottle


At Feral, the journey begins with the unassuming beet, a root vegetable that packs a punch in terms of flavor and nutrition. By employing methods like fermenting, macerating, and blending herbs, spices, and wild fruits, Feral creates drinks that are not only delicious but also very good for your health..


1. Fermenting: The Magic of Lactic Fermentation


Lactic fermentation is a natural process that occurs when beneficial bacteria consume sugars in the ingredients, producing lactic acid. This process not only preserves the drink but also enhances its flavor profile, adding a tangy complexity that elevates th humble beet to new heights. The result is a refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of meals.


2. Macerating: Infusing Flavors


Maceration involves soaking ingredients in liquid to extract flavors, aromas, and nutrients. Feral takes this technique to the next level by incorporating a range of herbs and spices, allowing their drinks to become a symphony of tastes.
