THE WORLD'S MOST TASTEFUL GIFTS
CULTJAR’s gift collections and individual jars are lovingly filled with impeccable ingredients — often grown on our own Somerset farm, combined with creative restaurant standard recipes. They make perfect gifts for the flavour-curious and look beautiful on any Christmas table.
THE FERMENT INTRO PACK
One of our best sellers, the Ferment Intro Pack, takes you on a journey through the different taste profiles of international ferments. Whether you are shopping for someone just starting out on their fermentation journey or a friend who's already a seasoned traveller, this selection of our four best-selling ferments, inspired by signature recipes from around the world, will transport you (and your gut microbiome) to a happy and healthy place.
SOMERSET MUSHROOMS
One of our most decadent jars, our Somerset Mushrooms are a real treat - a fine standalone gift, or the world’s best Secret Santa. Foraged wild mushrooms and cultivated chestnut mushrooms, are preserved using a traditional Italian technique known as Sott’Olio. This locks-in the flavour and preserves the ingredients ‘under the oil’ so that the seasons can be prolonged.
GIFTS FOR THE TABLE & THE TREE
With over 32 different varieties of CULTJAR - from our Celeriac, Capers & Mustard Ferment to Somerset Piccalilli, via Apple, Ginger & Cardamon Sauce - our jars offer the true gourmand a smorgasbord of deliciousness, using a variety of preservation techniques and inspired by international flavours.
Every CULTJAR is handmade by experienced chefs at Worminster Farm in Somerset. We select excellent quality nutrient rich ingredients in peak condition & prolong the seasons. Our aim is to create depth of flavour & longer lasting deliciousness.
While our fresh produce is mainly from the West Country, our recipes & food preservation techniques are a mixture of traditional & ancient methods, combined with some more contemporary & international approaches. The current range includes 21 different ferments (our favourite!) & 10 pickles, including some Japanese, American & Nordic style recipes, amongst other things. The seasonings selection is rooted in classic French culinary history & we use an Italian method to preserve wild mushrooms with olive oil.
Alongside our own recipes, we also work in partnership with a number of other like-minded retailers, restaurants and organic champions, such as River Cottage and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, and create a wider-range of delicious recipes.
All of our recipes are inspired by ingredients cultivated at Worminster Farm or responsibly foraged from our beautiful corner of Somerset. CULTJAR together with Worminster Farm combine vegetable and fruit growing with a creative kitchen, our health & the environment.
