Zhenjiang vinegar

Common card · No. 479482

Zhenjiang Vinegar, also known as Chinkiang Vinegar, is a traditional glutinous rice-based black vinegar widely used in Chinese cuisine. A defining characteristic of the vinegar is its high concentration of non-volatile acids, which contributes to its complex, mellow flavour profile and distinguishes it from other regional varieties. Legally protected as a Geographical Indication (GI) in mainland China and a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the European Union, the designation is strictly reserved for products manufactured within the Zhenjiang region that adhere to specific technical standards.
