Fermented Beetroot Pesto

Live, unpasteurized, vegan food – From naturally farm-grown vegetables

A red that lights up the dish: vegetal creaminess, lively acidity and a scent of thyme

Bucolica's Fermented Beetroot Pesto

Fermented Beet Pesto is a vibrant condiment with a spectacular color: naturally farm-grown beets are fermented and processed with garlic, fermented lemon, thyme, and salt, resulting in an intense, tangy, and deeply savory cream. Unpasteurized, vegan, and gluten-free, it's a living food in every sense: the active cultures make it a product that continues to evolve, and bubbles or foam upon opening are a sign of its vitality. Fermented lemon adds a complex, citrusy note unlike simple beetroot creams. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and use clean cutlery.
 
 
 

The roots of this Beetroot Pesto are deep in tradition

Beetroot has spanned European history as a humble and nutritious vegetable: from medieval monastic tables, where it was prized for its winter shelf life, to the great fermented soups of the East, such as Ukrainian borscht and Polish barszcz, which were created by lacto-fermenting beets to preserve them over the long winters. Fermented lemon, on the other hand, comes from the pantries of North Africa, where pickled lemons have perfumed Moroccan cuisine for centuries. This pesto combines the two: Central European fermented beetroot and Mediterranean citrus confit, united by thyme from our fields.
