About Us – Zhongkai Trading
Your Specialist for Cold-Resistant Premium Soy Paste in Europe
Zhongkai Trading is a Germany-based importer and supplier of functional, naturally fermented soy pastes from Taiwan — developed specifically for demanding environments such as marine operations, fishing fleets, cold-chain facilities and professional kitchens.
Our exclusive Hudi-Gao Soy Paste (壶底膏) offers a rare characteristic found almost nowhere else in the world:
✔ It remains liquid and ready to use even at –18°C.
This makes it an ideal seasoning solution in environments where conventional sauces freeze, harden or become unusable.
Our Origins – Tradition Meets Functionality
The soy paste we import is based on traditional Taiwanese fermentation using black beans.
The most valuable part — Hudi-Gao, the deep-bottom extract — forms only in the lowest layer of the fermentation vessel:
- extremely low free-water content
- high concentration of natural amino acids
- intense umami depth
- natural frost stability
These properties cannot be industrially replicated, making our product a true premium and functional condiment.
Who We Serve
Our customers range from professional kitchens to industries operating in extremely cold environments:
- Deep-sea fishing fleets & onboard galleys
- Navy and supply vessels
- Cold rooms & frozen-storage facilities
- Salmon processing & seafood industries
- Cruise ships & industrial kitchens
- Fine food retailers, restaurants & quality-conscious households
Whether fish, seafood, meat or vegetables — our soy paste delivers instant flavor, even straight from the freezer.
