The secrets of new sauerkraut

There was an entire years wait before it could happen ! 

365 days of imagining it sweet and crunchy like it should be. Golden and slightly sour to the taste, it is just as delicious raw or cooked. And then finally it arrives. Ready to melt in your mouth awakening your wildest fantasies.
But even before the first mouthful is complete, one is already inundated by a wave of questions. Where does this wonder come from? What makes it so crunchy yet so different?
Let it be said once and for all: It is around the 14 July that the so-called "premature" cabbages are harvested. What sets them apart from the others is the fact that they have taken 90 days to grow instead of the usual 120 to 150 days normally required.
The sun and surrounding heat do the rest allowing them to ferment during the 15 days following their harvest and their storage in vats.
 
 
 
Filled to the brim with summer flavours, these cabbages cut into fine strips, salted and placed into fermentation vats give rise to a sauerkraut which is sweet , tender and slightly sour:
The New Sauerkraut!
