Is Sodaly Fermented?

We've been pretty big into fermentation for yonks—literally since our inception in 2012. Fermented tea (AKA Kombucha) is where we made our name, and now that we're bringing out fresh, funky new bevs, people are naturally curious to see if these are fermented, too.

Sodaly is one of our newest bevs to roll out of our Melbourne fermentary. It's also one of our Remedy Lovers' fave new tipples, with our latest drops of Yuzu Lemon and Pineapple absolutely FLYING outta here. But is this fresh bev fermented? Let's suss it.

What is Sodaly?

Sodaly is a soft drink. It’s as simple as that. Kind of.

The magic of this bubbly bev is what sets it apart from all the other softies on supermarket shelves: it is made from 100% natural ingredients and contains no sugar, for real. It doesn't even contain the artificial sweeteners that most “sugar-free” soft drinks are guilty of using.

We like to think of Sodaly as a super simple and scrumptious alternative to the full-sugar, artificial soft drinks you’ve seen on supermarket shelves for decades. 

Is Sodaly fermented?

Again, kind of.

Sodaly is made with an apple cider vinegar (ACV) base. ACV is fermented apple juice.

So, ACV is a fermented liquid. This is used in Sodaly. Therefore, Sodaly is fermented. 

But it’s super different from other fermented foods and drinks. Typically, fermented things have a really strong taste, often leaning to the acidic side. If you were to taste our kombucha fresh out of the brew room before we work our magic with flavour, it would be a little bit tart.

What is the difference between Sodaly and Kombucha?

Remedy Sodaly is our super-tasty, full-flavoured soft drink containing no sugar or artificial ingredients. Unlike Remedy Kombucha, Remedy Sodaly is made with a base of ACV, which contains gut-friendly prebiotics known to aid in digestion and deliver other benefits like enhancing immunity and healthy skin.

On the other hand, Remedy Kombucha is a fermented tea that we long-aged brew in small batches. The result is a delicious bevvie packed with goodness from live cultures, antioxidants and organic acids.
