Kimchique

Our Story

Kimchique was born in Chelmsford, Essex from a desire to bridge the gap between traditional, small-batch fermentation and modern nutritional science. We believe that a premium lifestyle deserves a premium standard of nutrition—rooted in purity, vibrant flavor, and absolute transparency.

Crafted for the Microbiome

We don’t believe in shortcuts, heat-treating, or pasteurisation. True Korean kimchi is a living, thriving ecosystem. Kimchique is always naturally fermented and kept unpasteurised from batch to jar. This ensures we completely preserve the diverse, active live cultures exactly as nature intended, making it a vibrant addition to any daily nutritional routine.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBOURS SAYDavid M. (Cressing)
"It has a great fresh flavour and kick of chilli... much nicer and rounded compared to supermarket pasteurised versions. I really like the thick sauce, it's far more appealing than watery kimchi!"

My partner says this is one of the best kimchis he's ever had.

Young and Fresh

Crisp, crunchy, and refreshing with a clean bite. Enjoy straight from the jar, or serve as a bright, live cultures condiment alongside your classic Sunday roast, roast potatoes, and greens.

Matured and Tangy

Kimchi Fried Rice — Pan-fry with rice so the signature rich Kimchique sauce coats every single grain with vibrant color and punchy umami.

Fully Aged & Bold

Rich, deeply acidic, and complex. Layer into melted cheese toasts, simmer into comforting stews, or scatter over a pepperoni pizza.Pro tip: Tuck kimchi under the cheese/pepperoni to steam it and prevent burning in the oven!
