Quality & Sensory
Each batch is low-temperature slow-baked to preserve its golden-amber to deep brown color, thick fleshy texture, and honeyed, fruity aroma. The dried meat is plump and slightly sticky to the touch, with a translucent sheen when held to light. When brewed or simmered, it softens into a tender, chewy bite and releases a rich, sweet, caramel-like flavor with gentle fruity notes, lending natural sweetness to teas and broths without added sugar.
