Fermentation Tasmania

Fermentation is the delicious alchemy that transforms our food - grains into bread, cabbage into kraut, milk into cheese, grapes into wine.

At FermenTasmania, we believe in the power of fermentation to transform our produce, our people, and our place. By connecting industry, educators, government, and consumers, we are cultivating a community of creative food lovers & innovators.

The word fermentation comes from the Latin verb "fervere" which means to boil. We believe fermentation can turn the heat up on Tasmania, creating new jobs and new businesses on our island and helping Tasmanian food reach new markets. Through fermentation, we can craft innovative, value-added food & drinks that take a taste of Tasmania to the world.

Fermentation is culture and in Tasmania our culture is alive.

Join us on our journey, as we put Tasmania on the map as a unique global centre for excellence in fermentation.

The Fermentas Trade Network is your one-stop-shop for our island's premium fermentation businesses. Let us put you in touch with small and large producers alike to bring a taste of Tasmania to you.
