CJ CheilJedang announced on the 7th that its premium deli meat brand 'Yukgongyuk (六工肉)' has launched two gourmet deli meat products for enjoying at home: 'Yukgongyuk Whole Pork Belly BBQ Pepper' and 'Yukgongyuk Whole Pork Belly BBQ Garlic & Basil.'
The new products feature whole aged pork belly seasoned with garlic, whole pepper, and basil to maximize flavor. They can be easily prepared by cooking in an air fryer at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes without any additional sauce, and can also be cooked in an oven or on a pan. Depending on preference, they can be used as cooking toppings or snacks.
In particular, to replicate the texture and taste of original pork belly barbecue, the products use oak wood smoking without artificial smoke flavoring, reducing the salty and greasy taste typical of processed ham and enhancing a clean flavor. Fresh whole pork belly is aged for over 10 hours to ensure rich meat juice, and a seven-step heat treatment process evenly delivers heat to the center of the meat, maximizing a crispy outside and tender inside texture. The new products are available with various discount benefits at convenience stores, large supermarkets, and online channels.
A CJ CheilJedang representative said, "With the recent spread of home drinking culture mainly among people in their 20s and 30s, we have launched deli meat products that can be easily enjoyed at home," adding, "We will continue to strive to introduce various products that reflect consumer lifestyles and preferences."
