Also known as: lacto-fermented, lactic fermentation

Fermentation by lactic-acid bacteria, which convert sugars into lactic acid for a clean, savory acidity.

Fermentation

How It Works

An ingredient is salted and held anaerobically; native or cultured lactic-acid bacteria sour it over days to weeks, building acidity and umami depth.

Best For

Savory, umami-driven components such as fermented vegetables
