Edinburgh Fermentarium

Hi, I'm Ruth Munro and founded The Edinburgh Fermentarium in 2017. We hand make healthy, artisan fermented food in South Edinburgh in small batches. Our award-winning small, colourful collection both looks and tastes fantastic. Fermenting our vegetables naturally in small batches, we mix traditional techniques with a modern twist to bring delicious and healthy additions to your meals.

I discovered the joy of fermentation initially through a kimchi-making class and believe the art, science and joy of fermentation is a skill that should be democratised and shared with everyone! Since starting the business, I’ve always been inspired by great tastes and have constantly been on a learning journey, collaborating and experimenting to create new recipes and products. Our regular workshops aim to share these tips and tricks with you in a friendly and informal way and our classes are suitable for everyone - from those who have never held a cabbage to cooks or foodies looking to enhance their skill set.
