The Cultured Food Company Award-Winning Kimchi 1kg | Raw & Unpasteurised | Traditionally Fermented | Authentic Korean Recipe | 100% Natural Ingredients | Small Batch | Made in Ireland

Lovely flavoured Kimchi. Not too hot .... by my standards anyway. I make my own as well which can get very hot! Texture really nice. Overall a lovely quality product.

This should be zero stars,I have never ever tasted or smelt something so rank! I worked at Samsung as a chef for quite a while and we had a lady that would come and cook korean food for the korean visitors and CEO of Samsung,and the korean president,at the same time we would cook for the rest of the company,and she introduced me to kimchi,really legit kimchi,I have been chasing that flavour forever since! This product is thee most disgusting thing I have ever tasted,its rotten! Not fermented! And I wouldnt recommend this to someone that's starving! I ate a couple of chopsticks full and have never felt so unwell! Ocado have started doing a kimchi in a pot that's pretty authentic but still I haven't found anything like the beautiful korean lady showed me. We didn't speak each others language, but we would swap food for each other to try with smiles and respect for each others work. I just wish I had learnt her recipe! I will continue to make my own,as 16 pounds is ridiculous for something inedible,rotten,with a busted seal, and veggies that don't even belong in kimchi!who is this companies CEO? 100% should be sacked before you kill someone! This is dangerous food. DO NOT BUY!

we have always been very happy with the taste of this product. sadly like others we have experienced leakage and this does create a smell but the quality of the product has still been fine and tasted good otherwise we would have complained. we want to give a 5 for this even with these as we use this product for our health and healing and to get quality home made products that are raw is very hard and we would love to see this range continue as we do find it very yummy, healthy and healing!

To my taste product is too heavy on the sardine fish sauce. Dashi is the preferred or at least additional fish product in most recipes I have seen (including my own). Also fresh grated chillies would be a great improvement on processed (dried) cayenne powder) and it is a bit lacking in sweetness. It is fairly expensive so I would expect fresh ingredients wherever possible. I added a sachet of Dashi no Moto mixed into half a cup of good quality mirin and reprocessed into Kilner jars, though there is nothing that can be done about the chilis without creating too much heat.

I also found some liquid had leaked out - I guess that is a hazard with an unpasteurised product. It does have a strong smell - the fish sauce is a noticeable (traditional) ingredient. I definitely like it and logged on to order some more - unfortunately out of stock. I decided to add this review after seeing there was only one review that was not positive. Need to find out where else I can order it from....

Excellent, consistent quality, as with all this company’s products. It comes very securely packed and I’ve had no problems with breakage/leaks so far. It's not the cheapest available, but quality often costs. I really like the taste and texture - I’m on my eighth re-order now. Unpasteurised, so the flavour deepens and improves if you keep it for a few days before using, but that takes more willpower than I can usually muster. I have no idea how “authentically Korean” this kimchi is (recipes and flavours vary tremendously across Korea), but TBH I don’t really care. I’m not one of those who sample one variety and become an instant expert on what kimchi must be like.

A little spicy but I like spicy food. Honestly I can't leave it alone. Delivered on 6th May pm and by 6 pm I'd eaten a quarter of the jar. Finished it yesterday after restraining myself for 2-3 days this week. Worried I'm addicted to it! Nice crunchy texture. I feel a lost better as well and expect to be buying it regularly.

Bought this once and was lovely. They ran out of stock and then next time they had it in stock I bought again. Last two times the very smell of taking the lid off made me vomit. Disgusting. Ruined a perfectly tasty item by changing it somehow and now it consistently smells/taste like vomit. Never buying this product again.

it was the best i have had , right size, if it come again i will buy atleast 10 jars, i love the taste, crazy i have never been korea, i sent you a message but no return answer,

Ich habe mich leider von der lobenden Rezension täuschen lassen wenn ich dem anderen Rezensenten hätte trauen sollen. Im Gegensatz zu der Sockenpuppe war das definitiv nicht "the best I have had". Es ist zwar durchaus genießbar, aber es schmeckt genau wie in Essig eingelegtes Mischgemüse, obwohl das Etikett etwas völlig anderes behauptet. Die aufgeführte Fischsoße und den Sardellenextrakt konnte ich nicht herausschmecken und fermentiert schmeckt es auch nicht.

Schmeckt einfach nach eingelegtem Kohl sonst nix. Kimchi sollte aus Korea kommen, da weiß man, wie man es herstellt
