Kimchi Beyond Compare

Kimchi Beyond Compare is a small-batch fermented food brand based in Gray, Maine, inspired by its founder’s Korean heritage and family recipes. After moving from South Korea to Maine, the founder sought the flavors of her mother and aunt’s kimchi and developed a business centered on carefully chosen ingredients and traditional preparation. Ingredients come from trusted sources in South Korea and local Maine markets when available.

The brand makes three types of kimchi in small batches. Traditional kimchi features napa cabbage, Korean pepper powder, salted shrimp, and anchovy sauce, with a tangy, spicy flavor. Vegan kimchi offers a rich, fizzy taste and is free of the top nine allergens. Baek kimchi is a traditional pepper-powder-free variety, created for the founder’s children and suitable for people of different ages and spice preferences. All three varieties are described as naturally free of gluten, sugar, dairy, MSG, and soy. Kimchi Beyond Compare offers its products through online ordering and shares information about where to find them, along with recipes and updates through its website.
