Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully washed, cut, and dried to preserve its chalky white color, firm yet slightly porous texture, and faint earthy aroma. When simmered, the blocks soften gradually and release a mild, neutral taste that absorbs the flavors of the broth around it, adding body to soups without altering their character.
