[HO I FA] Preserved Bean Curd Original (330g)
The Purest Form of Umami: Silky, Savory, and Traditional Experience the "Original" heritage of one of Asia's most sophisticated condiments. Ho I Fa’s Original Preserved Bean Curd (广式白腐乳) is crafted using a patient, multi-step fermentation process. Cubes of firm non-GMO tofu are air-dried and then aged in a brine of Rice Wine, Sea Salt, and Premium Sesame Oil. This maturation breaks down complex soy proteins into a soft, velvety paste that melts like a ripened Brie, offering a deep, savory umami without the distraction of spice.
As a "living" fermented food, this original variant is prized for its high concentration of hydrolyzed proteins and free amino acids. It is a nutritional powerhouse for plant-based diets, providing a source of B-vitamins, Calcium, and Iron that are made more absorbable through the action of beneficial microorganisms during the aging process.
