The mixture is thoroughly stirred and placed in a sterilized and cooled disinfectant bottle until the bottle mouth is 3-5 centimeters high.

How to distinguish the authenticity of Xincheng Douban Sauce

1. Color difference: High quality Douban is brownish red (deep red), with a greasy feeling (in fact, not adding a drop of oil). This is because after fermentation, it must undergo more than a year of sun exposure and night dew formation. The redder the color, the less time it has been exposed to sunlight and dew, and the poorer the quality. But many consumers lack knowledge in this area, which provides opportunities for producing fake and low-quality Douban<2. Aroma difference: High quality Douban has a strong sauce aroma, while fake and inferior Douban only have a raw chili flavor

3. Taste difference: Experts taste the Hu bean cloves, which have a sauce aroma. The aroma is strong during the frying process. Fake and inferior Douban are only salty and spicy, without fragrance<4. Appearance recognition method: High quality Douban has been exposed to sunlight for a long time, with moderate viscosity, while fake and inferior Douban has high moisture content and is thin; Red oil fake and inferior Douban contains tomato skin, carrot skin, corn cob residue, etc. If it is red oil bean paste, there will be residue and pigments on the bottle wall when pouring fake and inferior bean paste
