New Zealand Abalone or Blackfoot Paua (Haliotis iris) is unique to New Zealand and has a rocky shell with a stunning multi- coloured interior featuring blue and green hues. The flesh is white with a black covering and is prized for its tenderness and umami flavour. The abalone is hand harvested sustainably by a team of experienced divers from New Zealand’s pristine southern coast line of a rare quality, taste and purity.
Paua not only tastes great, but also an excellent source of many vital nutrients. In Asian cultures, abalone has long been appreciated for its health benefits, including healthy eyes and skin.

Omega 3 contains anti-inflammatory properties which can reduce the risk of heart disease and arthritis symptoms and are believed to reduce the risk of developing cancers. Iodine is an essential mineral for the healthy function of the thyroid gland which regulates healthy body development, in particular the central nervous system. Phosphorous helps protect the blood’s transports energy. It is a good source of essential minerals and vitamins.

黑金干鲍是新西兰独有的著名物产，新西兰国家形象代表物之一。是纯野生、零污染的原生态高端海珍品。

在地球上第一缕阳光升起的地方——新西兰，零污染的和谐生态环境，使这片人间净土孕育着世间最顶级的海鲜产品。这里是100%野生黑金鲍的独一产地，澄净的冷海水和天然的特殊海藻给黑金鲍的生长繁殖提供了绝佳的环境。黑金鲍需要经过10年生长才会长到法定可捕捞的尺寸，平均每只可达1斤，肉大壳薄。因常年吸附在海底火山岩石上，黑金鲍表面的黑膜富含鲍灵素、鲍鱼多糖，极其滋补。

黑金干鲍肉质紧密，清甜醇香。与其他种类鲍鱼不同，黑金鲍既能松软滑糯，也能紧致弹爽。泡发后，鲍鱼肉质Q弹，回味十足，细尝之下，仿佛舌尖还能感受到遥远新西兰海水鲜咸味。

淡干黑金鲍，饕客最爱。个头厚大，肉质丰腴，汁液甘美清甜，香味浓郁。

Cooking tips:
You can braise, grill or sauté dried abalone, but you must first soak and simmer it.
Soak the dried abalone in cold water for 24 hours. The next day, clean and brush thoroughly and cook the abalone in boiling water for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover the pot and let stand for a few hours until the water is cool.

泡发方法
将鲍鱼放置于冷水中浸泡24小时。然后将鲍鱼冲洗干净，放入滚开的水中15分钟。关火，盖上盖子，直至水自然冷却。即可将鲍鱼进入下一步料理程序。
