Salted duck is a famous specialty of Nanjing and has long been famous. Nanjing salted duck has white skin, tender meat, fat but not greasy, and is delicious and fragrant, crispy and tender.

Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the salted duck has the best color and taste. This is because the duck is made during the season when the osmanthus flowers are in bloom, so it is famously known as: osmanthus duck.

"Baimen Cookbook" records: "In the August period of Jinling, salted duck is the most famous, and everyone thinks that the meat is fragrant with osmanthus." During festivals or when guests come to your home on weekdays, it seems to have become a custom to go to the street to chop a bowl of salted duck.
