Taste the authentic korean kimchi.

Kimchi has a high concentration of dietary fibre, while being low in calories. It is also rich in vitamin A, C, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium and iron. However, its most remarkable health property is perhaps due to the rich source of healthy bacteria – lactobacilli – which is a powerful digestive aid. For these reasons, the popular lifestyle magazine Health listed Kimchi as one of the world’s healthiest foods.

Olive’s Seoul Food kimchi is truly is one-of-a-kind, created using an authentic Korean home family recipe in Ireland. Born in Korea, made in the West of Ireland. All products can be purchased and collected from Claremorris, Co. Mayo. We also offer a postal service nationwide in Ireland.

Try a Taste of
Korea

Olive’s Seoul Food was set up by Olive Yeoun Jung Nho in 2010. With a passion for her culture & food she wants to share the beauty of Korea with you and the world.

Having trained at the Food & Culture Korea Academy she obtained national technical certificates in Japanese, Korean, and Western cooking and went onto work for the Korean Embassies in Senegal and the Ivory Coast, and also in New York. During that time she prepared the highest quality dishes for visiting Korean ambassadors and dignitaries. As a qualified professional chef she has a long history of working to a high-standard in Korean kitchens around the world, serving up thousands of Korean, Japanese and other international dishes.

In 2009, Olive moved to Galway, where she obtained a degree in the Culinary Arts and continued to work as a chef in various kitchens such as the well-known Japanese restaurants RAW and WA, and the prestigious five-star Ashford Castle in Cong.

In 2021 Olive set up her Korean kitchen in Claremorris, Mayo to produce popular Korean food items, catering to a growing market of interest in Korean food. The aim of Olive’s Seoul Food is to produce Korean food commercially, while promoting its uniqueness in availability, known health benefits and outstanding flavours.

Olive created her original Kimchi with a strong focus on authenticity and has built a strong following of loyal customers. Kimchi is a well-known Korean traditional fermented spicy pickled cabbage dish which is proving very popular in Ireland. A range of Korean side dishes (Ban Chan) and main Korean dishes are also on offer and provide the local population with a home-delivery service of healthy-eating options.

Our Kimchi

Kimchi is just one of the numerous traditional Korean fermented dishes made from vegetables and seasonings, however, it is arguably the most important dish for Koreans. Kimchi is so important that families gather annually to make it and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) developed a ‘Space Kimchi’ to accompany the first Korean astronaut into space.

Kimchi has a high concentration of dietary fibre, while being low in calories. It is also rich in vitamin A, C, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium and iron. However, its most remarkable health property is perhaps due to the rich source of healthy bacteria – lactobacilli – which is a powerful digestive aid.
