Stinky tofu stalls can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Hunan, which is enough to prove that the public loves it. In recent years, the seemingly inconspicuous stinky tofu has begun to be commercialized, and brand stinky tofu chain stores have blossomed everywhere, among which the "black classic" has become the fastest and most popular, elevating the identity of Hunan stinky tofu from a street stall to a brand store in one fell swoop. Its ready-to-eat stinky tofu has also become the star product of the store and is one of the local specialties. In terms of qualifications, although the black classic is not as good as the Fire Palace, it is highly recognized in the hearts of local consumers and was once regarded as a classic.
 
The reason why the black classic stinky tofu can capture many consumers is that its seasoning is very distinctive, there are two kinds of soup and chili sauce, the best taste of mixing and matching, fresh and then spicy after the entrance, there is a faint garlic fragrance in the aftertaste, and the stinky tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the taste is richer than that of the Fire Palace. The second is the black classic first juice-filling eating method, that is, after the stinky tofu is fried, small holes are knocked on the surface, and the sauce and soup with fresh, spicy and fragrant characteristics are poured, which not only fully integrates the condiments, but also releases the water vapor inside, and the taste of the stinky tofu is more crispy. At present, the sauce-filled method is limited to freshly fried stinky tofu.
 
Compared with fresh stinky tofu, although its ready-to-eat stinky tofu is slightly inferior in crispiness and freshness and spiciness, the degree of restoration of taste has been quite high, and the unique smell of stinky tofu itself can be smelled when you open the bag, and the salty and spicy taste is also more prominent than the black classic freshly fried same. However, due to the lack of relevant qualifications for the production of cooked food, instant stinky tofu is produced by Xiangxiang Aoquan Food Co., Ltd., and the richness of taste options is not as rich as that of the Fire Palace.
 
The black classic spicy stinky tofu has more soup and oil, so it is full of spiciness, and the tofu taste is soft and glutinous, and the price of a 158-gram bag is 11.9 yuan. In contrast, the spicy taste is less spicy, and more attention is paid to the balance between numb and spicy, and it also has the aroma of cumin, pepper and other spices, and the specifications and prices are no different from the spicy taste.
 
Interestingly, Black Classic has also partnered with the Smell Museum to launch a 200-bottle stinky tofu fragrance, which smells exactly the same as the smell of stinky tofu.
