Mrs Elswood fermented Kimchi is being added to the Empire Bespoke Foods' portfolio to provide shoppers in the UK with a delicious way to elevate their favorite meals with a touch of traditional flavor and crunch.
The kimchis are slowly fermented to ensure the utmost attention to a high-quality final product, and comes in three options including Classic Beetroot and Turmeric. The products will make their debut at Ocado locations this month and respond to increasing interest amongst UK shoppers in Korean cuisine. The kimchis are suitable for being incorporated into a variety of recipes to give any meal a touch of Korean cuisine inspiration.
Marketing Controller Matthew Moyes commented on the new Mrs Elswood fermented Kimchi saying, "Younger consumers have a greater appreciation for foods from across the world and are used to ordering a variety of cuisines on Just Eat, Uber and Deliveroo – this is being reflected in their supermarket shopping habits. As the nation’s favourite pickled gherkin brand, research has told us there is strong brand fit between Mrs Elswood and Kimchi, so we’re confident shoppers will enjoy these new products."
