Kimchi

The Fermentation Megatrend Meets a European Classic

Kimchi has become a global culinary phenomenon, celebrated for its bold flavours and deep cultural roots. From traditional Korean kitchens to modern fusion menus, this fermented classic embodies the megatrend of fermentation. Yet, for many, authentic kimchi remains a challenge—its intense sourness and pungent spice can feel unfamiliar. That’s where our innovation comes in: Sauerkraut – Kimchi Style. A juicy, flavour-packed twist on a European favourite, ready to serve and perfect for adding umami to everyday meals.

Kimchi: From Korean Tradition to Global Trend

Kimchi, the iconic Korean dish of fermented vegetables, has become a culinary superstar. Once a humble staple designed to preserve cabbage through harsh winters, kimchi now headlines menus from Seoul to San Francisco. Its appeal lies in bold flavours—spicy, tangy, and deeply umami—combined with the artistry of fermentation, a technique that chefs and food lovers are rediscovering for its ability to transform simple ingredients into complex taste experiences.

A Rich History

Kimchi’s roots stretch back over 2,000 years to Korea’s Three Kingdoms period, when vegetables were salted to survive winter. The fiery version we know today emerged in the 16th century with the arrival of chilli peppers. Today, there are more than 200 varieties, from classic napa cabbage kimchi to radish-based styles

Why Isn’t Kimchi Everywhere?

Despite its global fame, authentic kimchi hasn’t fully conquered Western households. Why? Its intense sourness, pungent garlic, and chilli heat can be challenging for palates unaccustomed to fermented flavours. Cultural familiarity plays a role too—those raised without fermented staples often find kimchi’s complexity overwhelming.

Fermentation: The Megatrend

Fermentation is no longer just a preservation method; it’s a modern culinary movement. From kombucha to sourdough, chefs embrace fermentation for its ability to unlock depth, umami, and natural complexity. Kimchi sits at the heart of this trend, inspiring creative twists worldwide.
