about

We are probio.studio, a small lab and creative studio driven by curiosity, taste and a hands-on approach. Fermentation is at the heart of what we do, explored from different angles through brewing, tasting, observation, photography and experimentation. Kombucha and other ferments are our starting point, but curiosity takes us well beyond what’s inside the jar.

Looking closely is part of the process, from what the naked eye can see to what appears under the microscope or through a macro lens. Along the way, we use our senses, collect data, test ideas and refine our methods. Fermentation is unpredictable, sometimes surprising and always fascinating to observe.

What interests us most is making these living processes visible and tangible. Photography, video, sound and visual storytelling offer different ways of presenting fermentation beyond the kitchen. One idea is to bring these elements together in something like a vernissage, inviting people to taste, observe, listen, learn and discover. A meeting point between information, experimentation and art.

It all began with a discontinued product that inspired us to take matters into our own hands. One experiment led to another, and what started with kombucha grew into a much broader curiosity about fermentation and the living foods and drinks that come from it.

Food, to us, should be simple, satisfying and full of character. As our own first tasters and toughest critics, we enjoy sharing not only what we make, but also what we discover along the way.

Take a sip, have a bite and see where fermentation takes you. Stay curious.

Alla salute!
