Over the years, the factory has operated under several names, including “Yumo Vinegar Workshop,” “Yumo Sauce and Vinegar Garden,” “Yumo Sauce and Vinegar Factory,” “Jinsha County Yumo Sauce and Vinegar Co., Ltd.,” and “Jinsha County Yumo Supply and Marketing Cooperative Sauce and Vinegar Factory.”

　　“Yumo Vinegar” is produced using a traditional solid-state fermentation method. It is made from high-quality wheat bran, corn, and rice, with over 100 types of Chinese herbs used in making the starter culture. The vinegar undergoes more than 180 days of open-air fermentation in solid-state mash. It features a brownish color, rich aroma, moderate acidity, a sweet aftertaste, and is rich in organic acids and amino acids. The entire production process does not involve any artificial coloring, preservatives, or food additives. It is a green food made purely from grains and is available in seven specifications: 438ml, 430ml, 500ml, 450ml, 10ml, 800ml, and 1600ml.
