Xianyuan curd milk
Xianyuan Curd Has a history of more than a hundred years, and the reason why it can achieve the same taste after several storms comes from its refined production method. Wantong sauce garden in the early days of the establishment, the production of soy sauce tofu blank purchased from Zhejiang Shaoxing "Weihe Curd Milk Factory", soy sauce tofu blank is divided into Taifang, Dafang, Mending size three kinds, Wantong purchased is too square, raw materials for soybeans, broad beans each half, sauce tofu blank in Shaoxing after loading the altar, transported to Hangzhou dock loading ship, through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal water transport to Tongzhou, in the south to north waterway transportation, soy sauce tofu itself has completed the first fermentation.
After the blank arrives at the factory, the miso soup is added for a second fermentation. The miso soup has more than 10 kinds of ingredients such as red yeast rice, yellow seedling white sugar, star anise, fennel, etc., which are configured according to different proportions and processed. Among them, red yeast rice is not only suitable for fermentation, but also can be used for tofu with a unique red color. Then according to the taste of Beijingers to add ingredients, soaked and packed into the jar, encapsulated jar, put in the sun for more than two months, and then put into the cellar for a year, after about two years of cycle, sauce tofu is considered to be made!
After the reform and opening up, after several relocations of the factory, Wantong Sauce Garden developed rapidly, but when Wantong Sauce Garden wanted to use the old name of "Wantong", it was registered in advance by a manufacturer in the south, so there was the current "Xianyuan" curd milk, which is now Beijing Xianyuan Food Brewing Co., Ltd.
