Zhengguo Cured Meats

　　Zhengguo cured meats from Zengcheng, one of the “Ten Treasures of Zengcheng,” are made from fresh locally raised pork using traditional methods. They contain no artificial coloring or preservatives and are naturally sun-dried and air-cured. The meat is delicious, has an attractive color, and offers an exceptional taste.

　　Product features: Zhengguo cured meats come in a rich variety, including cured fish, cured duck, cured pig head skin, cured pork, and cured sausages, among which cured sausages include more than ten types such as goji berry sausage, dried scallop sausage, spicy sausage, mushroom and sesame sausage, smooth sausage, lean spicy sausage, and others. Zhengguo cured meats uniformly use high-quality local pork as the raw material, are strictly produced in accordance with hygiene standards, and are blended with premium ingredients and traditional recipes. After natural sun-drying and air-curing, they are of superior quality, fragrant, and have an outstanding taste—crispy, sweet yet not greasy, surpassing ordinary flavors.

　　Regional uniqueness of the product: Zengcheng is a hilly area through which the Tropic of Cancer passes. Located in the southern subtropical zone, it has a marine monsoon climate with mild temperatures, abundant heat, and ample sunlight—conditions that are very suitable for cured meat production. Zhengguo Town is situated in the northern mountainous region of Zengcheng, boasting abundant tourism resources and agricultural products, providing excellent conditions and a solid foundation for tourism development and tourism product processing. In recent years, Zhengguo Town has prioritized tourism development as a key measure for boosting the local economy. While actively planning and constructing tourist attractions, the town has vigorously developed tourism products. Based on actual conditions and villagers’ production habits, the town has made it a top priority to establish Zengcheng as the “Hometown of Cured Meats.” Measures have been implemented to support development, enterprises have been encouraged to apply for QS certification, and various preferential policies have been provided. As a result, the cured meat industry across the town has achieved healthy development, with the number of enterprises and the output of products increasing year by year, forming a certain industrial scale.
