Napa cabbage, daikon, onion, scallions, garlic, ginger, Korean chilli flakes. Nothing you can't pronounce.

Made this week, not this year

Small batches, made to order in our home kitchen. You get a jar that was made days ago, not one that sat in a warehouse.

Questions people ask before their first jar

Is this really the best kimchi in Barcelona?+

We think so, and so do the friends and neighbours who keep asking for the next batch. It's made the traditional way in our home kitchen: napa cabbage is salted, then marinated with fresh, hand-mixed ingredients and fermented slowly over a few days. No vinegar, no pasteurisation, no shortcuts.

How spicy is it?+

Perfectly balanced and medium: warming, not painful. For orders over 3 litres we're happy to adjust the spice level to your taste.

How long does it keep?+

Refrigerated, it keeps for months. It gets more sour over time, which is great for kimchi jjigae and fried rice. Best fresh-crunchy within 4–6 weeks.

Where do you deliver?+

Delivery around Sant Cugat del Vallès and the nearby towns is free: we're there most weekdays once the kids are at school. Barcelona isn't on our regular route, so the easiest option is a free pickup in Sant Cugat. If you'd rather have it delivered to Barcelona there's a €5 charge and it can take a little longer to arrange. Pickup in Vacarisses, where we live, is always possible too.
