L’affascinante mondo dei colori

The fascinating world of colors

Have you ever wondered why the colors of fermented products are so bright and iridescent?
Spontaneous fermentation enriches foods with beneficial microorganisms, enhances their nutritional value, goodness, color and beauty; and these factors are often linked to each other, a harmonious virtuous circle of well-being, beauty and goodness.


Mother Nature amazes us every day and we, dealing daily with the fresh products she offers us, are amazed every time. Not only for the beautiful shapes and geometries of fruit and vegetables, but also and above all for the unique and unrepeatable colors, and it is pure magic to observe the transformation of vegetables before and after the fermentation process.

A completely spontaneous and natural process!!

The “good” microbacteria that are good for the intestine multiply spontaneously during the fermentation process, in practice it triggers a process of enrichment of the vegetables themselves that we can benefit from in our diet. All in a very simple and natural way.

So what does it mean to eat fermented products?

It means doing good to your body, in a completely natural way, but also savoring new flavors and new combinations, often unexpected compared to those we are used to and not least, filling our eyes with color and beauty! Our intestines will smile and be pleased to see this beautiful palette of natural and LIVE colors.

We can only benefit from these tiny colored microorganisms in every sense, not only for our health: they give an intense aroma, a naturally tasty taste, on the palate they preserve the crunchiness or softness of the original vegetables, and the colors of the fermented vegetables bring a lot of joy and vitality to the dishes.

If you are curious to know what lies behind the colors of fruit and vegetables and want to learn more about this topic, we have written a book "Cooking in Color" that you can find in our shop, an opportunity to find inspiration to enrich your everyday cooking as well as for special occasions with your guests.

There was a reproduction of the famous “Starry Night” by Van Gogh, a landscape, flowers, a succession of faces that vaguely recalls Andy Warhol but also other works of a lower register, played on illustration and comics. There was even a map of New York. What's strange about that? Nothing, except that the authors used slides instead of canvases and bacteria instead of colors .
