Om
Hurtige fakta: Produktionen af fiskesauce på Phu Quoc går mere end 200 år tilbage, og denne fabrik bruger stadig traditionelle trætønder, der hver kan rumme op til 10 tons. Øen producerer omkring 30 millioner liter fiskesauce årligt, hvoraf den fineste kvalitet lagres i 12 til 15 måneder i disse enorme kar.
Højdepunkter: Hver trætønde er håndlavet af det hjemmehørende boi loi-træ, en træart, der kun vokser på Phu Quoc og giver saucen en helt bestemt aroma, mens den lagres. Arbejderne tramper stadig blandingen af fisk og salt i tønderne med bare fødder, en traditionel metode, der menes at give den mest jævne fermentering.
Insidertips
- Skip the gift shop at the end and ask to taste the 15-month aged sauce instead of the standard 6-month batch.
- Wear closed-toe shoes as the factory floor can be slippery from oil residue and fish drippings.
- Bring a small bottle or container to buy the premium grade sauce, they sell refills from the barrel at bulk prices.
- Photography is allowed but avoid using flash near the fermentation barrels as light can affect the aging process.
