Trusted Process with Certified Safety Standards :

Advantages

Every batch of our kimchi is handcrafted daily using time-honored techniques we've perfected over 22 years, since 2002. Additionally, we are certified by FSSC 22000, ensuring that our production process meets the highest international standards for food safety and quality. This means you can trust that every jar of our kimchi is made with the utmost care for both flavor and safety.

Challenges

Sometimes, our methods limit how much we can produce, especially when the demand for certain products is high. Sticking to traditional techniques means we have to be extra careful to maintain quality. Although our FSSC 22000 certification ensures top-notch food safety and quality, meeting those high standards can lead to increased production costs, which might be reflected in our prices.

Fermentation Expertise:

Advantages

Our controlled fermentation process ensures optimal flavor and nutrition, which is a key point for health-conscious consumers. The probiotic benefits of well-aged kimchi are widely recognized, positioning our kimchi as both delicious and beneficial for gut health. Additionally, we don’t add any artificial additives or preservatives, meaning our kimchi is fermented naturally. This is important because preservatives can negatively affect your long-term health.

Challenges

While we are committed to using only natural ingredients and avoiding artificial additives or preservatives, this approach can limit our product's shelf life compared to some mass-produced kimchi options. Without preservatives, our kimchi may have a shorter freshness window, which can make it a bit more challenging for storage and distribution.
