Kachampuli | 300ml | Tangy | Potent | Traditionally Fermented
Discover the rich heritage of Bewild Kachampuli, made from the Garcinia gummi-gutta fruit cultivated in the thriving landscapes of Beforest’s Poomaale Collective, Coorg — a land of lush forests, fertile soils, and vibrant biodiversity that gives this extract its distinctive character.
For generations, the Kodava people have treasured Kachampuli as a signature ingredient in their cuisine, using it to bring sharp tang and balance to rich meat and vegetable dishes. It’s not just a flavoring — it’s part of their cultural identity, celebrated in kitchens across Coorg.
After harvest, the ripe fruits are fermented and slowly reduced in the traditional way, a patient process that concentrates their earthy tartness into a glossy, dark syrup. Crafted in small batches, just as it has always been, this ensures that every drop carries the depth of both place and tradition.
At Bewild, purity is a promise, not an option. That’s why our Kachampuli is free from artificial colors, synthetic flavoring, and preservatives, handled with care from forest to spoon. Whether you’re stirring it into a curry, seasoning chutney, or exploring new recipes, you’ll taste more than tang — you’ll savor a piece of Coorg’s culinary heritage, shaped by its land, people, and timeless process.
