Fermentation workshop in Lisbon at Feedme with Isabel Cardoso, a three to four-hour hands-on session at 70 euros per person exploring the fascinating world of fermentation and how this ancient preservation technique can become a natural and genuinely rewarding part of everyday cooking. From wine, cheese and sauerkraut to miso, kimchi, yogurt and kombucha, fermentation has produced some of the world’s most iconic foods for centuries, and this workshop is a practical and inspiring introduction to making a selection of fermented foods at home. Groups of 8 to 12 participants, with a shared tasting at the end.

The session moves through the principles of fermentation and the practical techniques for preparing fermented foods safely and confidently, guided step by step by Isabel Cardoso with her characteristic positive and accessible approach. Beyond the flavour and cultural heritage behind these foods, fermented products are naturally rich in probiotics and beneficial microorganisms that support a healthy gut microbiome and overall wellbeing, making this as educational as it is delicious.
