Ferment is a London based fermentory that specialises in Koji ferments – primarily, Miso, Soy Sauce, Shio Koji & Koji Rice/Flour. The products are hand crafted in small batches using the best local ingredients available.
In a relatively new category to London we wanted to give Ferment it’s own point of view. Leaning into a bold and bright brand world that was as unapologetic as its funky flavours.
Koji fermentation is a process that creates pungent, intense and complex flavours, we wanted to use the grains that start this process (rice, soy beans and pearl barley) as the foundation for Ferment’s visual language.
Combining the organic quality of these ingredients with a playful bright colour palette and expressive photography to land this new brand on the shelves.
