Zeng's Sun-dried Vinegar

Vinegar and wine are the windows of Guizhou Province to the world. Many people know about Kweichow Moutai, but they don’t know about Chishui Sun-dried Vinegar. This Chishui Zeng’s Sun-dried Vinegar, which does not go into supermarkets and only sells specialty stores, is called Moutai in vinegar! No additives and no shelf life...

Chishui sun-dried vinegar is produced by solid fermentation to produce natural acetic acid bacteria. The raw vinegar and finished vinegar are all made by long-term exposure to the sun, so it is called sun-dried vinegar. It has a long history. According to historical records, the ancestors of Chishui had the habit of eating sun-dried alcohol very early.

Chishui Sun-dried Vinegar is a unique folk traditional manual brewing technique. The traditional manual brewing technique alone is divided into twelve main processes, accumulating thousands of manual operations. From the collection of herbs to the preparation of vinegar koji to the final product of vinegar, it has undergone five times of fermentation for more than five years.

Coupled with Chishui's special low-altitude location, the climate is very hot, and the highest temperature in summer can reach over 40 degrees, making it exposed to high temperatures in summer for more than three years. It is precisely because of the unique natural conditions that the well-known Chishui Sun-dried Vinegar was born.

Unique local characteristics, with the characteristics of color, aroma, acid, alcohol, and concentration. The original juice sun-dried vinegar can be stored for a long time without any change of taste, no flowering, and no deterioration. The color is soft and as strong as rapeseed oil. Famous.
