Shanxi balsamic vinegar

When it comes to Shanxi, the most unforgettable thing is vinegar. Shanxi has a long history of brewing vinegar, which is mainly divided into smoked vinegar and aged vinegar. Taiyuan Yiyuanqing and Qingxu aged vinegar are the most famous, respectively. Shanxi vinegar has a unique fragrance and a long aftertaste, which is definitely the best vinegar in China. Shanxi balsamic vinegar is definitely the best vinegar in China. Shanxi people are good at brewing vinegar and are jealous, so they are known as "old wives". In ancient times, vinegar was called acyl, the person who brewed vinegar was called "acyl" and the vinegar was called "old acyl". There is a saying that "turnip is salted with soy sauce" in Jijiupian written by Shi You in Han Dynasty, in which "acyl" and "vinegar" both refer to vinegar. Therefore, jealousy is not called jealousy, but "eating acyl". Because of Shanxi people's special contribution to vinegar brewing technology, coupled with Shanxi people's love for vinegar, and coincidentally, "acyl" and Shanxi's "west" are homonyms, so mainlanders respect Shanxi people as "Shanxi old acyl". Shanxi people have a deep affection for vinegar, and the history of vinegar making in Shanxi is about 4000 years. Qingxu is the authentic birthplace of Shanxi mature vinegar and the birthplace of Chinese vinegar, and its vinegar-making history has been more than 4,000 years. According to legend, after Emperor Yao made his capital Yao (now Yaocheng Village, Qingxu County), he picked Ruicao "Vip" to brew bitter wine. The bitter wine mentioned here is the earliest acidic condiment-vinegar. During the Han and Tang dynasties, the acyl workshops in Jinyang area of Binzhou became increasingly prosperous. From the folk to the government, making acyl became a major hobby in people's lives. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shanxi's vinegar-making skills became more and more exquisite, and with the migration of Shanxi people and the footprint of Shanxi merchants, Shanxi's vinegar-making technology and customs were brought to the inside and outside of the Great Wall and the north and south of the great river, which is an important media that Shanxi is famous all over the world. Over the years, the vicissitudes of life have changed dramatically. Shanxi mature vinegar has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and its taste is stronger and its name is more prosperous. Today, Shanxi Shuita Mature Vinegar Co., Ltd. has become a leader in Shanxi vinegar industry, and the group has developed into the largest production base of high-quality series vinegar in China, with the trademark of "Shuita", the first brand in China vinegar industry, and "China Vinegar Capital".
