Our Story
"On the 10th day of Lockdown he saw everything he had made and Behold! It was very good...
...he had made a Fiery Elixir of Capsicum that would breathe life into any nourishment it did touch...
...the transformation was complete, do you see? He is truly a Ferm Believer"

Combining Science, Art and a touch of Alchemy; it is our aim to spread the word through our delicious concoctions and deliver us from bland food.
Out of Chaos comes order, here is where they meet.
Why fermented?
Fermentation comes in many forms.
From alcoholic drinks to Black Tea, Chocolate, Coffee, Sauerkraut, Yoghurt, Soy sauce, Kimchi... the list is endless.
Certain yeasts ferment sugars into alcohol, but when it comes to fermenting foods in a controlled manner this is often done by bacteria such as Lactobacillus - the "good bacteria" you find in probiotic drinks.
Historically this was done to preserve food as the resulting lactic acid would 'pickle' the food so that it may be stored safely for months if not years.
A welcome side effect of this is the creation of complex flavours, some of which can only be achieved through fermentation, flavours which have become unfamiliar to many of us since artificial preservatives and Ultra High Temperature processing have taken over as the more common means of preservation.
These Complex, Umami-rich and incredibly satisfying flavours are the reason Ferm Believers was created, now we want to bring them to the masses.
We are the Ferm Believers and we are Devoted to Flavour.
What's next?
We aren't just another hot sauce company...
Join our C̶u̶l̶t̶ 'Movement' and Follow us on Instagram @ferm.believers to prove your faith and worthiness of such heady pleasures.
Our range of products is going to steadily increase with one common theme - They must all have fermentation at their core.
If there is one thing you learn after years of fermenting things; you can't rush excellence.
