With the original intention of making good use of the "extra products" from the producing area, extra Agricultural products are committed to producing mellow and good flavor products. Its product, Green Peel Citrus Fruit Tea Jam, won the UK 2019 Great Taste Awards Star Award of the four world food awards in August 2019.

The 2019 Great Taste Awards competition consists of more than 400 professional judges, including star chefs, restaurant owners, food manufacturers, food critics, food journalists and food writers. More than 12772 foods around the world participated, and Qingpi citrus fruit tea jam won an one-star award. The participating products scored 70 to 80 points, representing "delicious", and only 38% of the entries were certified.

Lin Yawen, co-founder of special agricultural products, said that the original selection of Qingpi Ponkan was very different from the general jam taste on the market, so it was a bit risky, but I was impressed by the strong aroma of Qingpi Ponkan itself. It also inspired me to replace the grapefruit sauce imported from South Korea with the local flavor of Qingpi Ponkan.

This is what a 2019 Great Taste Award judge said to Qingpi Ponkan, whether it is sour and sweet with a slightly bitter taste, different from ordinary oranges, the taste of jam is ingenious and balanced on the tip of the tongue, and the jam maker has a lot of love for the fruit. This mellow texture is very different from the jam sold in the market, and it is worth savoring! It has been favored and affirmed by professional judges, which proves that good ingredients must not be alone!

The Ponkan fruit trees selected for special agricultural products are planted on the back-sunny slopes of the Great Frozen Mountains in Nanliao, Tainan, and on the slopes between 300 and 400 meters above sea level. the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the climate is cool all the year round, making the green mandarin sour and sweet moderately sour and sweet. The annual harvest time is about after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is at the end of December. It is the earliest Ponkan in China to be listed on the market.

Brother Hou Chunnan, who has been growing Ponkan for 40 years, stresses that our local farmers insist on not using acid-making agents and let Ponkan mature naturally on the trees. It has a natural sour taste and citrus sweetness, making the aroma more intense. Brother Hou and his two sons put in together to improve the soil and control diseases in a beneficial way, obtain production and marketing resume certification, and take good care of the land in a friendly and drug-reducing way.

Even if you plant it so seriously, there will still be extra products. Brother Hou says that Ponkan often suffers from scab and sunburn. Scab is one of the most important diseases of Ponkan, which does not harm the pulp, but when spots appear on the peel, it does affect the price of the fruit. As for sunburn, it will cause the uneven color difference between cyan and yellow on the green mandarin, which is not accepted by the market, but on the contrary, the fruit is sweeter because of sufficient photosynthesis.

The green peel citrus jam, which was rated one-star "delicious" by the UK 2019 Great Taste Awarsd of the four Gourmet Awards, was also the research and development director of Tea Jam, said you Ziang, the co-founder of special agricultural products and the director of research and development of tea jam. The process of making green mandarin jam is complicated. First, the pulp and fine seeds are removed manually, and then the suitable peel is selected proportionally, after being treated with green and sugar stains, it is mixed with the pulp and other raw materials.

In fact, after the development of Qingpi citrus fruit tea jam, we still continue to discuss with the professionals in the factory, and constantly revise the formula, production procedure and taste, so that the jam not only has obvious citrus aroma and natural gum, but also retains a little bitterness. make the flavor and color in the most reasonable state.

At that time, the old ancestors used the extra fruit to make fruit jam, which was the best way to preserve the fruit, and also sealed the seasons and soil. The fruit tea jam made by special agricultural products showed more love for the land and achieved a unique rich taste!
