There is no authentic or unauthentic Douban in Pixian County. You get what you pay for. As long as it is from Pixian County, the doubanjiang contains more bean paste and red peppers. The more expensive ones are more delicious. Just authentic. If you want to talk about Pixian Doubanjiang Dandan, Xingxing, Wangfeng, Jinfuhou or Fuhou, they are the most common and relatively good ones. If you want to talk about authentic Chengdu Pixian Doubanjiang, there are only a few big companies, small businesses. It's almost the same, the taste is almost the same.
Before liberation, there were three brands: Yifenghe, Shaofenghe and Yuanfengyuan. Pixian Douban became famous during the Anti-Japanese War and benefited from the historical environment of reform and opening up. The history of Douban in Pixian County is incomparable with the history of Pitong Liquor. Pitong Liquor has a truly long history. It was one of the five famous wines in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, there probably were no so-called famous wines such as Mao Wulu. The above three companies all produced it at first, but unfortunately it was lost after liberation.
With the changes in the general environment, public-private partnerships were formed, and the so-called authenticity was inherited by three local state-owned enterprises: Pixian Douban Factory, Pixian Brewing Factory, and Xipu Soybean Oil Factory. The production technologies of these three manufacturers each have their own advantages, and their products have their own characteristics. I will talk to you in detail when I have time in the future. However, in my opinion, the quality of Pixian Douban Factory was the best at that time. With the reform and opening up, manufacturers producing Pixian Douban emerged like a spring dream after the rain. Some people mentioned that the current Shaofenghe was only privatized from the brewing plant of Pixian Salt Industry Company.
The current definition of authenticity means that everything with geographical indications and certification marks is authentic. Who is the authentic Pixian Douban? Personally, I feel that all products produced strictly in accordance with the production methods of Pixian Douban are authentic. . However, if you are not familiar with the product, it is safer for you to choose a manufacturer with Pixian Douban geographical indication. When purchasing, it is best to buy Pixian Douban instead of the red oil type. Say important things three times and look for Pixian Douban, Pixian Douban, Pixian Douban. Moreover, many so-called authentic authors do not agree that although the formula is simple, the important thing is that perseverance is the best way.
