Kimchi cultivated and fermented in Italy

Kimchi made in South Tyrol.
We’ve reimagined this Korean classic made from fermented vegetables in the South Tyrolean style, using ingredients sourced from our local region. The result? Three varieties of Kobas Kimchi: mild savoy cabbage, slightly spicy white cabbage, and spicy red cabbage.

Organic kimchi made from fruits and vegetables grown in Italy by small farmers.

From the field to the jar.

Our organic fruits and vegetables come from farmers in the Vinschgau Valley in South Tyrol. Together with their families, they grow white cabbage, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, carrots, apples, pears, and onions for our kimchi.

Our production facility in Vinschgau ferments the kimchi according to our own original recipe.

Every bottle of Koba is a testament to our hard work, the rich soil, and the warm sunshine of the southern Alps.

Organic farmer Lukas Rizzi grows apples in Val Venosta (Italy) for the Organic Kimchi Kobas.
  • In 1989 the Rizzi family started to grow organic apples in Val Venosta (South Tyrol).

    Lukas still farms the fields organically according to Naturland guidelines with his family and employees. Besides apples, cherries and vegetables have been added.

    All Kobas contain the most famous apple from Val Venosta: the Golden Delicious.

The social cooperative Vinterra grows organic carrots, red cabbage, white cabbage and savoy cabbage for the Kobas Kimchi.
