Description
Nem Chua - Vietnamese Fermented Pork Sausage - 300 g
Nem Chua is a classic Vietnamese specialty, belonging to the category of fermented meat products. The product is made from minced pork combined with sliced pork skin and pork fat, seasoned with ingredients such as chili, garlic, pepper, and toasted rice, before undergoing a fermentation process. The result is a compact sausage or roll with a firm, slightly chewy texture and a complex flavor profile that combines sour, salty, and spicy nuances. Fermentation gives the product its characteristic tangy taste, distinguishing it from conventional meat products. Nem Chua can be compared to European cured sausage products like salami, but has a completely unique Asian flavor profile. The product is typically used as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a Vietnamese meal and can be served directly or as an accompaniment to rice and vegetables. It is packaged in a net casing that holds the individual rolls together and is sold deep-frozen at -18°C or colder. The product must not be refrozen after thawing. With a high protein content of 22 g per 100 g, it is a satisfying meat product suitable for those who wish to explore authentic Vietnamese food culture. Fermented pork, Vietnamese snack, Asian meat product, deep-frozen appetizer, and traditional Nem Chua are all relevant search terms for this product. Contains LACTOSE as an allergen.
