Wufangzhai

Established in 1875, Wufangzhai holds a unique position as one of the oldest mooncake brands, emanating from Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. Conceived by the vision of Guo Yuqing, the brand aimed to honor and enliven the tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival with mooncakes that tell a story. Starting with a single workshop, Wufangzhai's journey over the past century has seen it transform into an influential culinary entity, renowned both nationally and internationally for its unparalleled quality.

One of Wufangzhai’s signature masterpieces is the “Jiaxing Meat-filled Mooncake”. This savory delight contrasts the predominantly sweet mooncakes found in many brands. The filling is a fragrant combination of rose sauce, stewed pork, and an assortment of finely chopped nuts, providing a mouthful of rich and aromatic flavors. Encased in a tender, slightly chewy crust that’s imprinted with the brand’s signature design, it serves as a delicious testament to Wufangzhai's dedication to authenticity, whilst infusing innovation.

Wufangzhai's legacy in mooncake craftsmanship is built on a deep respect for traditional methods fused with modern innovations. Each mooncake's journey begins with a carefully chosen high-grade flour, promising a bite that's both rich and delicate. Wufangzhai's artisans handcraft many of their signature fillings, like the esteemed lotus seed paste, emphasizing the brand's dedication to preserving age-old techniques. However, in the quest for perfection, modern equipment is also employed to ensure uniformity in each mooncake.

A meticulous ingredient sourcing process, with an emphasis on local produce, guarantees the freshest flavors, showcasing Wufangzhai's commitment to quality and community. Every step of the production process, carried out under controlled conditions, culminates in a stringent final inspection, ensuring each mooncake stands as a testament to Wufangzhai's esteemed standards.
