Xiushan Fermented Tofu
Xiushan Fermented Tofu is a geographical indication certification trademark.
According to *Compendium of Materia Medica*, fermented tofu is made by soaking and curing tofu with wine lees and other ingredients, resulting in a salty yet slightly sweet flavor.
Xiushan fermented tofu uses high-quality soybeans and other supplementary materials as ingredients. It features a unique production process, without any added preservatives or coloring agents, making it 100% green food. The protein in soybeans decomposes and volatilizes during air-drying and fermentation, giving this fermented tofu its distinctive taste. Xiushan fermented tofu has a mild flavor but exudes a pleasant aroma. Its texture resembles that of a compact, smooth blue cheese (in fact, fermented tofu is often referred to as "Chinese cheese"). It can be preserved for several years, and its flavor becomes even richer over time. Rich in essential nutrients such as protein, sugar, and vitamins, fermented tofu helps stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen, and nourish the skin. Among Xiushan fermented tofu varieties, “Silver-Wrapped Gold,” “Big Elite,” and “Eighteen Steps” are particularly renowned.
