🏮 164 Years of Craftsmanship – Jiajiang Fermented Tofu Recognized Traditional Technique
Jiajiang Fermented Tofu Moldy Tofu originates from Jiajiang County, Leshan, Sichuan, with documented history dating back to the Qing Dynasty (1861).
Produced by Jiajiang Qingjiang Brewing Co., Ltd., this product follows a traditional clay jar fermentation process lasting 180 days, preserving authentic Sichuan flavor and texture.
This is more than tofu — it is a cultural heritage food passed down for generations.
🥬 Special Regional Edition – Sichuan Cabbage Wrapped Furu
In addition to classic red furu, Jiajiang also produces a traditional Sichuan Cabbage Fermented Tofu (Baicai Furu)version.
This regional specialty is made by:
-
Naturally fermented tofu cubes
-
Coated with Sichuan Erjingtiao chili powder
-
Seasoned with Hanyuan peppercorn
-
Wrapped individually in salted cabbage leaves
The result is a perfect harmony of:
✔ Numbing (Ma)
✔ Spicy (La)
✔ Savory (Xian)
✔ Aromatic (Xiang)
✔ Creamy (Su)
The inner tofu develops a beautiful apricot-yellow color and melts instantly in the mouth, while the outer cabbage layer adds a fresh, slightly spicy crunch.
Rich in up to 18 amino acids, this version delivers deeper umami complexity than standard fermented tofu.
Pujiang cabbage-style fermented tofu was listed as Chengdu Municipal Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2019.
