Unpasteurised Kimchi - The North Shop

 

Authentic small-batch kimchi from East London, traditionally fermented for 7 days. Bursting with gut-friendly probiotics, tangy-spicy crunch, and unmistakable Korean flavour. Perfect with Asian dishes or cheese.

This unpasteurised handmade kimchi is fermented for a full 7 days using traditional Korean methods, resulting in a perfectly balanced probiotic-rich food that delivers authentic spicy flavour without overwhelming funkiness. Made in small batches in Clapton, East London, it combines Chinese cabbage, daikon, carrot and authentic Korean ingredients like gochugaru and aekjeot for a genuinely artisanal product.

The North's approach mirrors our own commitment to quality, no artificial preservatives, no shortcuts, just honest fermentation that preserves both nutritional benefits and complex flavours. Enjoy it straight from the jar, paired with Asian dishes, added to casseroles, or as a surprising addition to your cheeseboard.

This kimchi is for health-conscious food lovers who refuse to compromise on flavour and those seeking genuine, small-batch fermented foods made with integrity.

Why It Stands Out

  • Unpasteurised & Raw: Teeming with beneficial live cultures.
  • 7-Day Fermentation: Perfectly balanced between fresh and funky.
  • Small-Batch Production: Handmade in East London with meticulous care.
  • Authentically Crafted: Using traditional Korean ingredients.
  • It can be enjoyed in multiple ways: Works as a side, ingredient or standalone snack.

Tasting Notes

Expect a bright, complex flavour profile with initial crispness giving way to warming chilli heat, umami depth from the anchovy sauce, and the perfect level of funk that comes only from proper fermentation.

About The Producer

The North creates genuinely artisanal fermented foods in East London, working in small batches with rigorous attention to ingredient quality and traditional methods. Their commitment to unpasteurised, preservative-free products reflects a dedication to both flavour and nutritional integrity.

Incredible fish!

Would thoroughly recommend

The best tinned fish money can buy!

Gill-ty as charged. These tinned fish are incredible. I have my eye on their new olive oil and very keen to try next!

Chin chin!

Lovely - perfect for this time of the year!

Good exp.

Good quality

Great tasting oil, very well packaged

Beautiful box that drew my attention on a shelf of a Michelin guide restaurant. Ordered from Nourished Communities, good price, good packaging, timely delivery and tactful after sales handling.

Soooo good

Love this olive oil, very nice peppery taste.

Best price on the market for this quality

I've been searching for good quality olive oil high in polyphenols and this is the best I could find!

Great service, fantastic product

Amazing customer service and follow up! Quick efficient and speedy friendly service.
Great product!

Lovely, helpful and personal company selling fantastic products

We have just started buying Honest Toil Olive Oil and Nourished Communities had the best prices we could find, which is what initially attracted us. The oil is fantastic, but an added bonus are the personal touches that come with supporting a small business. Rory gave me a call to touch in after our delivery and to make sure that everything was fine. My one bit of constructive feedback would be that it would be really useful to have a Paypal or Klarna option on the website (allowing buyers to split the cost of a larger purchase). However, I understand that for a small or medium sized business there might be costs involved with this and perhaps it's just not feasible in terms of the money they would lose.

Unbelievable oil

Ive bought this pil before, absolutely amazing. I struggle with anything else if caught short. So I try to make sure I never am.

Great box

Great box of veg, good quality every week and staff are always so friendly and helpful

Soup and service

Swift service, great quality

Despatched very quickly, arrived on time, value for money and quality.

Great

Very quick . Well packed . Fantastic oil olive . This is our delivery.
Thanks x

My favourite nourished communities product

I get it almost every online order because it's just so versatile and tasty. You know it's much fresher than other store bought tofu because of its clean taste and also because it expires rapidly. You know they haven't done anything in the process to make it last longer but potentially take away from the product as well.

Lovely olive oil at great price

Great olive oil at a great price!

Good leaves, but would be great to get some more spring veg

Great quality leaves. Hoping the root veg cycles out. Asparagus soon please!

Thanks for the review and for the valuable feedback! I've shared this with our veg box manager :)

It does take a bit of time for a good selection of new season veg to come through - the hungry gap runs March to May - but the end is in sight!

Thanks,
The NoCo team

excellent bresaola

This is lovely. Cured perfectly. Deeply flavourful.

Good oil, good price

Nothing more to add. Well delivered , pretty can!

Great selection and all organic

I love my weekly veg box. It’s usually all British grown, organic and inspired you to eat with the seasons

Loved it and quick delivery!

Bought this for a friend and they loved it! They finished it the day it arrived 😀
