I got the caucasian yogurt culture even if I followed the instructions it didnt work

The grains just came alive so quickly and the second batch of kefir and still is

Fab product, delivery and price!

The milk kefir starter culture arrived well packaged and in timely fashion - And has boosted my pre-existing tired culture, which has been going for about 5 years, but recently has been flagging markedly, extremely well.
What's more, the kefir produced tastes the same as before - just love it on my home made muesli mix every morning!

Very good delivery considering Christmas time, correct items sent, good quality

Excellent service and support. Website has tons of guidance for anyone starting out and is really thought through. Enjoying homemade kefir and kombucha. Result!

I’ve purchased various yoghurt cultures and all have been successful.
Happy to recommend them.

High quality kefir seeds.

I have been using my starter seeds for months now. Multiplied by a lot

The Bulgarian yogurt culture I bought from freshly fermented is excellent, I make awesome, tangy, creamy, thick yogurt for months with this culture.

Packaging was excellent, & product arrived in great condition.

The review is for the product, not the company but no option available to do so.

The website (and on the bottle) says the daily amount is 100ml. However the fortnightly subscription is for 8 x 500ml bottles. This makes no sense, either that 4 litre amount would last 40 days or the daily amount is wrong. For 4 litres to last only a fortnight, consuming it daily you would need to consume 285 ml per day. I emailed and asked for clarification and was told “most people drink 250ml a day. Please start with 100ml as some people can find it really unsettles the stomach to begin with.”

I thought they meant that the probiotics could unsettled the stomach and as water kefir hasn't previously caused me any problems I tried 100ml a day for a several days at breakfast. I enjoyed it, then increased it a little for a couple of days to gradually increase the amount I was drinking. I started to lose my appetite and then felt very nauseous all the time which went on for a couple of days after ceasing to drink it. For me it is way too rich a formula and concerningly even 100ml a day of coconut kefir provides about 17.5g fat, for a woman that is a huge 88 percent of the rda which doesn’t leave a lot of space for any other healthy dietary fat. 250 ml would be about 130 percent of the rda of fat (20g a day NHS Live Well).

Taste and quality seem good but it is higher in fat than dairy pouring cream, too rich for daily consumption.
It is also almost impossible to get it to pour out of the bottle as the fat floats to the top and when chilled blocks the narrow neck. It can't be good to have to warm the whole bottle to emulsify it to get 100ml out and rechill the bottle several times over several days until it is all used.
Maybe it needs to be reformulated so it is on par with plant milks for drinks and cereals rather than tinned coconut milk.

*Thank you for the reply about milk. I meant the consistency of this type of milk. I do not use products filled with crap, ever. It is worth saying though that Tetra Pak milks can be clean too; I use The Bridge organic rice coconut milk which has spring water, rice, coconut milk, and seasalt.

Viili culture arrived and it has now worked nicely....though took a bit longer I guess because of very cold temperature in my house

I have not received my results in spite of reminders. Would like the refund. Very disappointed.

Good product and friendly post-sales customer service (quick and clear response to a product question)

I have ordered items from Freshly Fermented on several occasions. These have included fermentation starters as well as organic tea, sugar and turmeric. Quality is always excellent and delivery has always been prompt. I was worried about my new kombucha scoby as I wasn't able to start it off straight away but the use by date was actually 2 years after the despatch date, so all is well. I have no hesitation in recommending Freshly Fermented.

Timely delivery, product did what was expected.
Delicious results

Great service and amazing, high quality products. Highly recommend.

First batch failed, but it was replaced by another batch that worked fine.

Good service, prompt fulfilment of order.
Grains working well producing really nice kefir.
A good result.
