- MOMO KOMBUCHA -
South London based husband and wife team , MOMO Kombucha , create Great Taste Award winning kombucha using natural methods ; 24th June 2024 saw the New Covent Garden Market based brewery launch collaborative Watermelon Kombucha ( RRP £ 4.50 per 330ml glass bottle ) with Natoora ( www . natoora . com ), available from MOMO , Natoora , Gail ’ s Bakery , Selfridges , Planet Organic and Whole Foods Market throughout the summer .
MOMO ’ s unfiltered kombucha blends perfectly with Sentinel Watermelon , resulting in a burst of sweet , fruity flavour perfectly balanced by the classic zingy 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 .
This may be the lightest , most refreshing kombucha MOMO has ever made , and really highlights both the quality of the produce and kombucha as a medium . Zerbinati ’ s Watermelon is rich , with juicy , sweet flesh making the kombucha ideal for summer sipping ; reach for this one at a picnic , BBQ , or after a long , hot tube journey .
Founder of MOMO Kombucha , Josh Puddle says 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 .”
