Shangzhu Cured Duck

　　Shangzhu Village cured duck is a traditional specialty product abundantly produced in the Shangzhu area of Daping, Rucheng. This product uses “Rucheng Ma ducks” as its raw material, seasoned with an ancestral secret recipe, and processed through sun drying, wind exposure, frost, and modern production techniques. It features tender meat, a rich aroma, and a unique flavor. When Emperor Qianlong toured the south of the Yangtze River, he once enjoyed Shangzhu cured duck for his imperial meals. Impressed by its rich flavor and delicious taste, he spontaneously named it “Shangzhu Village Cured Duck” as an honor.

Shangzhu Village cured duck ranked first at the provincial cured duck evaluation exhibition hosted by the Hunan Provincial Department of Agriculture; won a gold award at the first Chenzhou Premium, Specialty, and Novel Agricultural Products Trade Fair; and received a silver award at the Changsha Agricultural Expo. Currently, the product has an annual production and sales volume of around 200,000 boxes, and it is in high demand in the market.
