Generally, the quality of salted duck eggs in places with lakes and rivers is relatively high, and indeed, zibo's golden duck eggs are produced in the local Mata Lake.
The reason why it is named golden duck egg is because this salted duck egg produced in Zibo is golden and oily, with a delicate texture and layers, as if wrapped in a circle of gold ribbons. The clear water quality of Ma Ta Lake allows many fish, shrimp and other aquatic creatures to inhabit here, ducks often eat these foods, natural nutrition is abundant, the duck eggs laid are also incomparably full, the eggs are golden and shiny.
