MOMO Kombucha, the New Covent Garden Market -based brewery, is launching its Watermelon Kombucha, in collaboration with Natoora, available from MOMO, Natoora, Planet Organic and Whole Foods (RRP £4.50 per 330ml glass bottle) from 25 July.
MOMO’s unfiltered kombucha is blended with Sentinel Watermelon, resulting in a fruity flavour balanced by the tones of Kombucha. The Sentinel Watermelon is grown by Oscar Zerbinati, in Mantua, Northern Italy, an area renowned for its melon growing; the Zerbinati family is one of the most celebrated growers in the region. The watermelons are grown slowly, reaching up to 18kg, Oscar grows one melon per plant to ensure the plant puts all its energy into the one fruit; he carefully restricts their water intake, forcing them to cling to the nutrients in the mineral rich clay soils, resulting in dense, rich flesh.
The new addition to MOMO’s portfolio is the lightest, most refreshing kombucha the company says it has ever made, and really highlights both the quality of the produce and kombucha as a medium. Zerbinati’s Watermelon makes the kombucha ideal for summer occasions, such as picnics, BBQ’s or hot London tube journeys.
Founder of MOMO Kombucha, Josh Puddle said of the collaboration, “We are so grateful to have partnered with Natoora and to have been able to combine Zerbinati’s expertly grown watermelons with our kombucha. I wasn’t sure the flavour would cut through the kombucha, but it really does and has totally surpassed our expectations – all credit to our head brewer Matt Canham. We’re also happy to be supporting Natoora’s Farm Fund through this partnership, a fantastic organisation supporting young farmers committed to agroecological methods.”
MOMO Kombucha is on a mission to produce the best tasting and highest quality kombucha, which they achieve by using finest ingredients, including a blend of the finest teas and slow pressed juice; brewing in glass jars, in super small batches, and leaving the liquid completely unfiltered to offer the maximum health impact.
