Kombucha Helichrysum

Sparkling fermented drink with helichrysum, tea-free and unpasteurized

The island breeze in a glass: the golden scent of helichrysum bubbles amidst Mediterranean scrub and salty sunshine.

The Kombucha Helichrysum of Bucolica

Elicriso Kombucha is a lightly sparkling artisanal beverage made from the fermentation of an infusion of helichrysum, organically grown directly on the company's land. Unlike traditional kombuchas, this exclusive recipe uses no tea: the star of the show is the helichrysum, the plant with golden flower heads and an unmistakable aroma reminiscent of curry, wild sage, and the Mediterranean sun. The active action of the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) transforms the infusion into a dry, balsamic, and slightly resinous beverage of rare aromatic complexity, preserving the plant's live cultures and wild essence intact.

The roots of this Kombucha are deep in tradition

Kombucha boasts a millennia-old history rooted in the Far East, where it was celebrated as the "elixir of long life" as far back as two thousand years ago. The SCOBY is the living heart of this beverage, a symbiotic culture passed down from generation to generation, just like sourdough starter in peasant bakeries. Helichrysum, from the Greek "helios" (sun) and "chrysos" (gold), is the sacred plant of the Mediterranean scrub: Sardinian and Corsican shepherds have used it for centuries to flavor meat over open fires, while in phytotherapy it has been prized since ancient times for its balsamic properties. Bucolica takes this Mediterranean heritage and combines it with Eastern fermentation wisdom in a uniquely original creation.
 
 
 

Choosing Elicriso Kombucha means taking care of yourself

Because it's unpasteurized, this kombucha is rich in live probiotic cultures, natural allies of the gut microbiota and digestion. Helichrysum has long been prized in phytotherapy for its natural anti-inflammatory, balsamic, and respiratory-supporting properties, particularly valuable during seasonal changes. Its aromatic notes also promote gentle digestion and a sense of general well-being. The absence of tea makes it caffeine-free, making it ideal for any time of day, perfect for those seeking a drink with a wild character and medicinal properties, far removed from commercially produced carbonated drinks.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Helichrysum Kombucha

• PAIRING WITH GRILLED MEATS AND PASTORAL DISHESIts balsamic and slightly bitter note is perfect for degreasing the tasty meats of the Mediterranean tradition. Serve it alongside Organic Sheep Arrosticini, a Fresh Rabbit stewed and flavoured with Fresh rosemary and bay leaves, accompanying everything with Organic Pecorino from the Veio Park: an authentically Mediterranean gastronomic experience.
• SEAFOOD APERITIF WITH BLUE FISH: Helichrysum and the sea have sun and salt in common. Enhance it with Cetara Anchovy Fillets in Oil, Ventresca of Red Tuna, its Organic semi-wholemeal Campagna bread toasted with Organic DOP Gaeta olives and a few drops of Colatura di Alici di Cetara: an unforgettable coastal aperitif.
• BASE FOR SIGNATURE COCKTAILS AND HERBAL DIGESTIVES: its balsamic complexity makes it ideal as a base for cocktails with a bitter character. Mix it with a drop of Gentian Liqueur King Genzio for a herbaceous spritz, or pair it at the end of a meal with Myrtle Grappa e 71% Organic Dark Chocolate for a Mediterranean closure with character.
