Monterey

Lactobacillus casei

What this culture supports

  • Immune activation
  • Digestive regularity
  • Resilience
Not dessert. Daily wellness.
Valley

Our standard blend, single-culture inoculation. Clean, mild, and versatile. The everyday practice — spoon it, blend it, make it yours.

Reserve

Our elevated blend, twice the culture inoculation from the start. Richer texture, more complex flavor. More of everything that makes it worth the daily habit.

Summit

Triple the culture inoculation, cold-strained for maximum density. Our richest, most potent jar — and the most indulgent. This is the practice at its fullest.
