Brand Story
Zhenzheng Lao Lugaojian traces its roots to Wuxi, Jiangsu, with a history dating back to the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty (c. 1862-1874). The founder, surnamed Lu, started a cooked meat business and became famous for his aromatic and savory braised pork. The name 'Lugaojian' combines 'Lu' with 'gaojian' (straw mat), symbolizing the slow simmering on straw mats that makes the meat tender and flavorful. Through generations, the brand became a representative of Wuxi's local specialty, blending the culinary essence of Jiangnan and reflecting Wuxi's pursuit of premium ingredients and precise cooking. Despite wars and changes, it has upheld traditional techniques, remaining an unforgettable taste of home for Wuxi locals.
