„The idea of making beet kvas came to mind many years ago. I read somewhere that it is a miraculous beverage and I’ve been always attracted to miraculous things. I decided to try to make it, although the kithen was always a strange place for me (when it comes to cooking, not eating, haha!). In the beginning it was not easy. There were many unpleasant surprises. The kvass was going crazy – it bursted, hissed, molded. It kept me awake at night. Instead of sleeping at night like a decent human being, I kept thinkin and wondering how to find the perfect recipie. And I didn’t give up. I kept on putting the beets and making new kvass, trying to make it better and better untill it became my „spécialité de la maison”. I gave kvass to anyone who visited me. And I visited someone as a guest, I took a bottle or two with me.
Unexpectedly, I became the beetroot man.
You can laugh but I even have beetrot-couloured (not purple!) suspenders, that were specially gifted to me. I also have beetrot shoes. Once when I was at the seaside I saw them in the shopping window. I spent my last money on them. Now I wear them only for special occasions.
PICKLING IS ONE
OF THE OLDEST
METHODS OF VEGETABLE
MAINTENANCE IN POLAND,
USING NATURAL
FERMENTATION PROCESSES.
Anyway, before I knew it, beet kvass became very popular among the people around me and they kept asking for more! The final recipe has matured for a long time.
Numerous experiments in my home laboratory helped in this process.I went through probably everything …All beet types and species and methods of preparation and comminution, filtering and structuring of water, all possible salt species as well as various spices. All my friends tasted and complimented it or shared their constructive remarks. Finally an idea appeared to start operating on a larger scale, to turn my home ritual into a more serious project. ” – says Krzysztof Goliszewski, founder of Ja swój and the kisi-kisi brand. Beet kvass is a beverage fully created by nature cycles. Beets growing in the local soil, specially purified and structured water, carefully matched spices and traditional, craft knowledge supported by natural energies and processes – all this determines the creation of a true native superfood.

kisi-kisi is made with minimal human involvement. Our tasks involve planting, collecting, composing, protecting what is precious and simply sharing it. Beets themselves transform into kvass due to natural fermentation processes, when we give them the space for action. The strength, depth of taste and health values of kisi-kisi come from there. The taste can surprise you sometimes with subtle differences, because the circumstances of our drink are subject to changes. The spirit of nature is mysteriously reflected in the beloved beetroot and it penetrates into the kvass and our bodies.
