Xiamen Gulong Food Co., Ltd., formerly known as Xiamen Canning Factory, commemorates the company's birthplace "Gulangyu", and creates its own brand "Gulong" with its Hokkien homonym. Gulong uses the traditional sauce-making process to produce and process canned products such as tempeh, pickles, and choy sum, and the products sell well in nearly 80 countries and regions in the world, especially in Southeast Asia.
Gulong has the world's largest traditional soy sauce brewing and drying field, covering an area of nearly 50,000 square meters, and has won the Guinness World Records for "having the world's largest number of traditional soy sauce brewing tanks (more than 60,000 units)" and "the largest wooden soy sauce barrel still in use today". The Xiamen Gulong Sauce Cultural Park built on this soy sauce drying field has attracted domestic and foreign program groups such as "Huanxing China" and "A Bite of China 2" on the National Geographic Channel of the United States to come to record.
Over the past 100 years, Gulong has always adhered to the traditional ancient method of brewing, and the biggest difference between the ancient method and modernization lies in the three aspects of raw materials, technology and time. In terms of raw materials, most of the soy sauce on the market is made of fried defatted soybeans, or a mixture of soybeans and soybean meal, while all products of Gulong are made of Heilongjiang soybeans and do not add any food additives to ensure the original taste of soy sauce. In terms of time, unlike the fermentation of soy sauce by most manufacturers for 3-6 months, the brewing cycle of Gulong soy sauce is more than 1 year, and then after half a year of mellowing and half a year of precipitation, it can only be put on the market in two years.
Kolong is best known for its brewing process, which combines treated ingredients with carefully cultivated soy koji and ferments them in traditional clay vats with strong air permeability. During the day, the sauce jar is opened, and the sunlight is fully absorbed and fermented rapidly, which is called "sun drying", and the sauce jar is covered at night, and the sauce aroma is gradually condensed and condensed in the jar, which is called "night dew". This brewing process is listed as an "intangible cultural heritage of Fujian Province", and the finished soy sauce produced is dark in color, salty and sweet.
Gulong ancient soy sauce can be called the epitome of "ancient taste" in southern Fujian, using high-quality soybeans from Northeast China, after long-term brewing, the taste is mellow, salty and fragrant, and the effect of stir-frying and boiling meat is good, and the original taste of soy sauce is restored while highlighting the freshness and tenderness of the ingredients. Another black bean soy sauce is also a representative of "ancient taste", which has more umami, ruddy color and rich fragrance, which is a good choice for dipping or cooking seafood.
The Gulong Tiancheng series is a high-end product of Gulong, and gourmets such as Cai Lan and Shen Hongfei are full of praise after tasting it. This series has a longer brewing and fermentation time, including two years of special soy sauce, two years of brewing soy sauce, two years of black bean soy sauce, two years of handmade brewing and five years of handmade brewing. Two years of special blending is suitable for stir-frying, two years of brewing is suitable for braised dishes, two years of black beans and seafood are better matched, two years of handmade brewing and five years of handmade soy sauce have a higher concentration, fragrant but not fishy, mellow but not greasy, no matter whether it is dipped or cooked, it is full of soy sauce and soy sauce.
It is worth noting that the cologne soy sauce has a long brewing time and a strong flavor of soy sauce, but the salt content is higher than that of other brands, so you can add a small amount when cooking. In terms of price, Gulong soy sauce is much more expensive than other domestic brands, and the longer the brewing cycle, the higher the price, the 165ml bottle of Guzao soy sauce costs about 12 yuan, and the price of Gulong Tiancheng's five-year handmade brewing 200ml is 268 yuan.
