1. **A Skillful Blend of Sweetness and Sourness**: One of the most prominent flavors of the handmade soft preserved plums from Yunnan is the ingenious combination of sweetness and sourness. The selected plums inherently possess a rich and natural sour taste. This sourness is fresh and multi-layered, capable of instantly stimulating the taste buds. During the production process, the added sugar precisely neutralizes part of the sourness, achieving a harmonious balance between sweetness and sourness. When eaten, it is neither unacceptably sour nor overly sweet and cloying. This perfect interweaving of sweetness and sourness makes people unable to resist having another one after taking a bite.
2. **Soft, Glutinous and Thirst-Quenching**: Due to the handmade production method, a certain amount of moisture in the preserved plums is retained, resulting in a soft and glutinous texture. When you take a bite, the soft pulp spreads in your mouth, providing a unique chewing experience. At the same time, the preserved plums can stimulate the secretion of saliva in the mouth, having the effect of quenching thirst. Whether you are thirsty or looking for a casual snack, it can meet your needs.
3. **Rich and Mellow Fruity Aroma**: The fruity aroma of the high-quality local plums in Yunnan is fully preserved and enhanced during the handmade production process. This fruity aroma is rich and mellow. In addition to the fragrance of the plums themselves, during the pickling process, the flavors of some natural spices such as dried tangerine peel and licorice may also be incorporated, forming a complex aroma. When you taste the preserved plums, the rich fruity aroma will pervade your mouth, bringing a pleasant olfactory and gustatory experience.
4. **Salty and Aromatic, Enhancing the Flavor**: A small amount of salt is added to pickle some of the handmade soft preserved plums, and the salty and aromatic flavor adds a distinctive taste to the overall flavor. The salty taste not only enriches the layers of the flavor but also further stimulates the sweet and sour flavors of the plums, making them more intense. This combination of salty, aromatic, sweet and sour flavors makes the taste of the preserved plums more three-dimensional, and the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes.
