Peach Cheong

Summer’s here and our 2024 harvest Yellow Peach Cheong is now available! A trifecta of fruits fermented for 1 year. This cheong is seasonal and very limited. 

Cheong 청 (or Ekgis 엑기스 or Won Aek 원액) were traditionally developed as a way to preserve peak season fruit and herbs for storage over extended periods of time at room temperature. Preserved with equal parts whole ingredient (juice, rind, peel, skin, leaves, stems, etc) and sugar until the mixture is reduced of most of its water content (at least 90 days of fermentation).

Their versatility spans applications in sweet and savory creations. Mix into salad dressings, marinades, or with hot water for a quick tea. Spread on bread or drizzle over yogurt for a that distinctly delicious ripe summer peach flavor.

About the fruit: we source the very best peaches from K&J Orchards in Winters, California. The mixed batch includes Fairtime, Autumn Flame, and Fay Elberta yellow peaches. 2024 harvest. 

Ingredients: K&J Orchard yellow peaches, organic cane sugar
