Preserved

Located in the vibrant Temescal district, Preserved is a mecca for the DIY gourmet food maker. If you have ever wanted to make your own kombucha or cheese, this is the place to go for everything you need to be successful. Their store carries an assortment of kitchen tools and starter kits that allow you to make your own fermented foods, preserved foods, and broths.

Elizabeth Vecchiarelli is the owner of Preserved. She is committed to helping the Temescal community have more of a hands on relationship with their food. This is done by providing the tools necessary to make your own fermented foods and offering workshops. The workshops are for food makers with all levels of experience. Surprise your family with fresh homemade sourdough bread, or give the gift of homemade jam this holiday season. You can learn to make these treats, and more, at Preserved. Take a look at their current calendar to see what workshops are coming up.
