Yu Xiang Chongqing Hot Pot Soup Base

This product is a traditional Chongqing-style hot pot soup base, characterized by its solid block form containing beef tallow (oil), dried chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. Specifically, the branding identifies it as a 'Yu Xiang' (渝香) product, which is a brand deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of Chongqing, China. These soup bases are essential for preparing the numbing and spicy (mala) broth famous in the region.

The product is manufactured in China, specifically within the Chongqing or Sichuan provinces where these condiments are a regional specialty. The brand is typically owned by local food manufacturing enterprises such as Chongqing Yuxiang Food Co., Ltd., which specializes in authentic regional seasonings. These products are widely distributed through Chinese supermarkets globally, including the 'Living Supermarket' series mentioned on the packaging, serving as a staple for home-cooked Sichuan cuisine.
