Ejiao Ning Gao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin Herbal Paste) — Ready-to-Eat Gu Fa Ao Zhi, 100g

Ejiao Ning Gao (阿胶凝膏) is a ready-to-eat herbal paste made from donkey-hide gelatin (Equus asinus), a highly revered traditional Chinese wellness ingredient known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Ē Jiāo (阿胶). For centuries, Ejiao has been prized as a blood-nourishing, yin-supporting, and essence-replenishing tonic, traditionally used to support vitality, complexion, and graceful aging. Its nature is sweet and neutral, making it a gentle yet deeply nourishing paste for daily wellness rituals. This Gu Fa Ao Zhi (古法熬制) slow-simmered paste is crafted in Shandong, the historic heartland of Ejiao production, and comes ready to eat in a 100g pack.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is slowly simmered in the traditional Gu Fa Ao Zhi manner until the gelatin is fully dissolved and reduced into a glossy, amber-black paste. The texture is smooth, dense, and slightly sticky, with a rich, faintly sweet aroma of gelatin and aged herbal decoction. When tasted, it melts gently on the tongue with a mellow, mildly sweet flavor and a lingering, warming finish — a sign of thorough reduction and clean raw material.
