I will always repurchase Zhenjiang Hengshun vinegar. It has a first-rate taste and a long aftertaste. My daughter can’t live without a bottle of it for almost every meal. She finishes half of it in a few days.
The brand is high-quality, cold salads, stir-fries, and dipping sauces are all available. The bottle in this packaging has not been noticed before. This Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is delicious.
The sour taste is very positive, the taste is very good
A favorite black vinegar, essential for many dishes!
A must-have for eating dumplings
There is a smell of vinegar in the box! But no vinegar was found!
The vinegar is fragrant and the acidity is soft and refreshing! Personally feel that there is no disadvantage except for the high price!
From snack to big
Eat dumplings on the winter solstice!
Very well packaged 👍
Every time you stock up, you have to buy a lot, everyone save it
It tastes good for dipping dumplings, dates are fresh
We answer everything you want to know about Chinkiang Vinegar.
Chinkiang vinegar, also known as Zhenjiang vinegar, is a traditional Chinese black vinegar made from fermented glutinous rice. It is famous for its deep, inky color and a complex flavor profile that is tart, malty, and slightly sweet with a smoky aroma. It is a staple in Jiangnan cuisine.
It is most commonly used as a dipping sauce for dumplings and potstickers, often mixed with ginger and chili oil. It also adds depth to braised meats, cold appetizers like wood ear mushroom salad, and classic soups such as hot and sour soup. Its mellow acidity balances rich, fatty dishes perfectly.
While both are dark vinegars, Chinkiang vinegar is made from rice and grains with a malty, smoky profile, whereas Balsamic vinegar is made from grape must and is generally fruitier and sweeter. In a pinch, you can substitute Chinkiang vinegar with a mix of balsamic vinegar and a splash of soy sauce.
Gold Plum (Jinshan) and Hengshun are widely considered the most authentic and best Chinkiang vinegar brands. Hengshun is particularly famous for its handcrafted and aged varieties. You can find both of these premium brands at Yami.com with direct shipping from our US warehouses.
Chinkiang vinegar should be stored in a cool, dark place like a kitchen pantry. It does not require refrigeration. While it can last for years due to its acidity, it is best consumed within 6 to 12 months of opening to enjoy its full aromatic profile and peak quality.
