Sun on clear days, cover on wet days;
turn by day, dew at night.

The traditional Pixian douban craft is national intangible cultural heritage. We do not rush: 1,095 days, turned, sunned and stirred every single day.

  1. Turn by day

    "Sun on clear days, cover on rainy days, turn by day, dew at night." Every pool and every jar is turned daily so chilli and bean convert slowly in warm air.

  2. Sun every clear day

    Pidu's sunshine and humidity are the best fermentation conditions douban can get. Tomato-red slowly deepens to red-brown as layers of aroma build under the sun.

  3. Out in the dew

    Lids come off at night so the paste takes in moisture and cool air. Three years is 1,095 days — a flavour that a three-month shortcut cannot buy.

Stir-fries, braises, colour and aroma — one spoon does it

Three years of ageing tames the heat to mild and rounds the salt. Chop it before it goes into the wok and add it once the oil is hot for that red sheen.

Questions

The questions we get asked most

Still unanswered? Call +86 28 8790 0224 on weekdays between 9:00 and 17:30.

Why does Junle Yuan douban cost more than ordinary douban?

The three-year batch ferments for 1,095 days, turned, sunned and stirred every day without a gap — far more time and labour than a quick-fermented douban. Compare it with traditional Pixian douban rather than with red-oil douban on price alone.

Is Pixian douban spicy or salty?

After three years of natural fermentation the chilli heat drops markedly — ours is mildly hot — and the salt level is moderate; season your dish with slightly less salt than usual.

How should douban be stored after opening?

Keep it cool, dry and well ventilated, or simply refrigerate; shelf life is 18 months. If left unused for a while, stir with a clean spoon to keep the surface from oxidising.

Why is the colour less bright red than some douban?

No colouring is added; the colour comes from fermentation itself. If a douban looks unnaturally vivid, check whether an artificial colour has been used.

How do distributors order, and what is the minimum quantity?

Jars, buckets, cartons and paper drums all come in matching specifications, and we support regional distribution, direct foodservice supply and private label. Call +86 28 8790 0224 to discuss pricing and minimum quantities by region and product line.

Where can retail customers buy?

Order directly from the Junle Yuan flagship store on Tmall (junleyuansp.tmall.com); the products are also sold in supermarkets and seasoning wholesale markets.

What if the goods arrive damaged?

Refuse the parcel if it is damaged on arrival and we will settle with the carrier; once accepted with the seals intact, the usual 7-day return applies.
