Leyton Lab Drop 001: The Final Kimchi

The dish that started it all, and the last batch we will ever make.

We have made the tough decision to stop producing our award-winning kimchi, but we wanted to go out with a bang.

That's why we've held back a final 20kg of our last batch of kimchi and just let it ferment for nearly three months to develop an incredible, wild tang. Then, to make this final drop truly special, we rounded out the heat with the sweet mellowness of black garlic and an aged Japanese shoyu for ultimate umami depth.

As always, our kimchi remains unpasteurised and additive-free to preserve the great taste and natural funk.

This ultra-limited batch is packed into lovely, reusable glass Kilner jars.

Pre-order now. We'll send this out as soon as we decide it's perfect, probably early in August. Once it is gone, it is gone forever.

STORAGE: Keep your Shedletskys kimchi in the fridge. It will last up to 6 months. Over this time, your kimchi will continue to ferment, becoming fizzier and softer. This is natural. It will also produce CO² as it ferments. “Burp” your jars regularly by opening the lid to release the excess gas.

INGREDIENTS: Napa cabbage, daikon, carrot, red pepper flakes, glutinous rice flour, spring onion, ANCHOVY SAUCE, black garlic, aged shoyu (SOY), ginger, garlic, salt, sugar
