Red cake is a kind of sugar cake that Kunming people often say. It is named after it is red in color after baking. Red cake can be divided into wheat flour and buckwheat noodles, among which there are three traditional flavors: ham, sugar and sand washing. The white cake is made of pure white flour and pure white lard, with only ham and sand-washing stuffing.
The main difference between Yuntui moon cakes and other ham moon cakes is that they use different hams. The ham used in Yuntui moon cake must be Xuanwei ham, which is made of Wujin pig and cured for two years. It is a unique ham in Xuanwei, Yunnan.
Authentic Yuntui moon cakes are made of this excellent Xuanwei ham, and the ham moon cakes made are also excellent in taste and unique in flavor. Smaller than a red cake.
Wujin pork is of excellent quality and excellent taste, and the geographical environment of Xuanwei is very suitable for curing ham, and there is a kind of grinding black rock with just right nitrate content. The ham cured with this grinding black rock is bright in color and rich in flavor, and after two years of air-drying fermentation, it finally forms a superior ham with excellent flavor.
