Artisan Fermented Foods, Raw, Live, Delicious!
Award-winning kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles and more — handcrafted in small batches using traditional techniques and packed with billions of live probiotic cultures. Delivered fresh across London and nationwide across the UK.
Authentic. Ethical. Excellent.
Belle & Herbs began in 2002 as a Newcastle café that grew into an award-winning restaurant and food festival innovator. Our journey then took us into academic and medical research — collaborative studies with patients on food, health, nutrition and recovery from illness. That experience formed a deeper, science-based understanding of taste, flavour and the extraordinary power of fermentation.
Today, Belle & Herbs is run by Sam and Pan. Pan brings three generations of a family fermented food business in Myanmar and more than ten years in Michelin-rated UK kitchens. Every jar is produced in small batches using traditional techniques backed by evidence and experience.
We're a female-founded business, operating with a near zero-waste policy, ethical employment practices and a "closest first" supplier policy. It's simple food, made carefully with pride.
Handcrafted Fermented Foods
Every jar is small-batch fermented, raw, live and unpasteurised — packed with billions of probiotic cultures for optimal gut health. Available for delivery across London and the entire UK.
3× Great Taste Winner★ FeaturedKimchi
Our flagship traditional kimchi — crafted with an authentic Korean recipe featuring napa cabbage, a 12-hour simmered kombu broth and gochugaru chilli flakes. Rich, crunchy, spicy, and loaded with addictive umami. A 3-time Great Taste Award winner packed with billions of live probiotic cultures.
Low Spice & Vegan★ FeaturedWhite Kimchi
A gentle, vegan Baek Kimchi with all the sour brightness and satisfying crunch but without the heat. Made with napa cabbage, pear, sweet pepper, jujube fruit and pine nuts. Perfect for children and those who prefer a milder probiotic experience.
100% Plant-Based★ FeaturedVegan Kimchi
All the fiery, funky depth of our classic kimchi — entirely plant-based. A 24-hour kombu seaweed broth and premium soy sauce replace traditional fish products, delivering full umami flavour with zero animal ingredients.
Fusion Favourite★ FeaturedKimchi Kraut
The best of both worlds — a fusion of Korean kimchi spice and European sauerkraut tradition. Fermented cabbage with gochugaru and our signature spice blend for a unique, crunchy probiotic side dish.
Probiotic Shot★ FeaturedKraut Juice
The leftover elixir from our small-batch krauts — a vivid, salty-tangy brine brimming with live cultures. Take a daily shot straight from the fridge for an instant probiotic boost, or drizzle over salads and grain bowls.
Great Taste Winner★ FeaturedYellow Kraut
A golden twist on tradition — white cabbage infused with hand-cut pineapple, fresh turmeric root and juiced ginger. Sweet, vibrant and delicious with powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. A multi-award-winning Great Taste favourite.
Lacto-FermentedSweet Dill Gherkins
Baby cucumbers lacto-fermented for eight weeks with sea salt, fresh dill and spices. Unlike vinegar-pickled gherkins, ours develop an unmatched depth of flavour through slow, natural fermentation.
Great Taste WinnerPurple Kraut
Naturally slow-fermented purple sauerkraut with red cabbage, mouli, green apple and ginger. Bright, sweet-and-sour with an earthy depth and satisfying crunch. Great Taste Award winner and rich in gut-friendly lactic acid bacteria.
Not Vinegary!Red Onions
A gentle, delicious sibling of the pickled onion — sweet, tangy and NOT super vinegary! Raw-fermented with sea salt, spices and time in a gentle pickle juice. Naturally probiotic and perfect on burgers, salads or cheese boards.
Hibiscus InfusedPink Pickled Mouli
Vibrant pink daikon radish cubes fermented in a sweet, sour and mildly salty brine infused with hibiscus flowers. Refreshing, fragrant and beautifully coloured — a stunning addition to any plate.
Great Taste WinnerFermented Chilli Jam
A funky, umami-rich chilli jam made with fermented red chillies, red pepper, onion, garlic and ginger. Sweet and savoury with mild-to-medium heat. Great Taste Award winner — perfect as a dipping sauce, meat glaze or cheese accompaniment.
The Science of Gut Health
The UK fermented foods market is growing rapidly — and for good reason. Scientific research continues to reveal the extraordinary health benefits of live, probiotic-rich fermented foods.
Billions of Live Probiotics
Our kimchi contains 7–9 billion CFUs of beneficial lactic acid bacteria per serving. These live cultures colonise the gut, supporting digestion and reducing bloating, gas and discomfort.
Stronger Immune System
Over 70% of the immune system resides in the gut. Regular consumption of fermented foods strengthens the gut barrier, helping the body fight infections and inflammation more effectively.
Better Nutrient Absorption
Fermentation pre-digests food and increases the bioavailability of vitamins (especially B and K), minerals and antioxidants. Your body absorbs significantly more nutrition from fermented foods.
Mental Wellbeing
The gut-brain axis means a healthy gut directly supports mental health. Studies link fermented food consumption to reduced anxiety and depression symptoms via improved serotonin production.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Ingredients like turmeric in our Yellow Kraut and ginger across our range provide powerful anti-inflammatory compounds, amplified by the fermentation process.
Weight Management
Fermented foods are low in calories but high in fibre and satisfaction. Probiotics have been shown to influence metabolism and fat storage, supporting healthy weight management.
