It has the same affiliation as Arowana, and Orchid is also a brand of Yihai Kerry. 2018 is a year for orchids, and they have appeared in the third season of "A Bite of China" and "Flavor of the World", two heavyweight documentaries, which have made the reputation and popularity of orchids continue to rise. In the "2018 Chinese Customer Satisfaction Ranking of Edible Oil" released by brand rating agency Chnbrand, Orchid rose two places to No. 4, second only to Luhua, Arowana and Jiusan Group, which mainly sells soybean oil.
In 1994, after the establishment of a joint venture between Qingdao Vegetable Oil Factory and Kerry Grains and Oils, the professional manufacturer of peanut oil came into being. In 2015, the ancient method of oil extraction of orchid was included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of Qingdao.
In 2010, Yihai Kerry launched the ancient method of small-pressed peanut oil for orchid flowers, and the popularity and recognition of orchid flowers have become increasingly comparable to those of Luhua. The ace products of the two also have a certain degree of similarity, Luhua 5S pressed first-class peanut oil and orchid flower ancient method small-pressed peanut oil are both paste-flavored, with deep peanut stir-frying. The ancient method of orchid small-pressed peanut oil is pressed in small batches by a small press to obtain virgin oil, which is made with fine method and strong flavor, so the price is also high, about 170 yuan for 5L. Because of the use of virgin oil with better quality as raw materials, the ancient method of small-pressed peanut oil has only been moderately refined and filtered, and the stability of the oil is not as good as that of Luhua, and it is best to eat it within 5 weeks after opening, and with the growth of time, the peroxide value will exceed the national standard, and the flavor will be significantly lost.
The special flavor peanut oil and the ancient method of small pressed peanut oil are more similar, but the aroma is slightly weaker than the ancient method of small pressed peanut oil, different from the ancient method of small pressing mellow fried incense, the special flavor of peanut oil raw materials after steaming process, the fragrance is biased towards the sweet type, and the price is slightly lower than the ancient method of small pressed peanut oil, 5L about 140 yuan.
In contrast, the non-GMO peanut strong flavor blended oil does not have much appeal, although the product is called the peanut strong flavor type, which only adds 7% of peanut oil, but unlike most soybean oil and rapeseed oil-based blended oil, this blended oil is based on corn oil, in addition to peanut oil, a small amount of sesame oil is also added, the oil has a slight aroma, the cost performance is not high, 5L is about 80 yuan.
