[Our Farm] Golden Maesil-Eck (Plum Extract Liquid)
100% Organic Ripened Maesil from Gwangyang
[Our Farm] Golden Maesil Extract
Maesil is the Korean green plum — a nutrient-dense fruit packed with minerals and antioxidants, yet naturally low in calories. In Korea, it's traditionally fermented into a sweet, tangy extract and used as a natural substitute for sugar in cooking. Many people also drink it as an iced or hot tea, prized for boosting energy, supporting healthy digestion, and helping detoxify the blood.
Golden Maesil (Cheongmae) vs. Green Maesil (Hwangmae)
Most maesil extract on the market is made from unripe plums, known as cheongmae. These have a green peel and produce a dark-green extract with a sharp, tart-and-tangy flavor.
Our Farm takes a different approach, using fully ripened plums called hwangmae, recognizable by their golden-yellow peel. The riper the fruit, the more natural sugar it develops — which gives this extract a noticeably sweeter, fuller-bodied taste than the typical cheongmae version.
It's especially good mixed with still or sparkling water for a refreshing iced tea.
Where It's Grown
Our Farm's plums are grown along the Seomjin River in Gwangyang, a coastal region in South Jeolla Province that's one of Korea's premier maesil-growing areas. The orchards are 100% organic — free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers — and the plums are hand-picked in June rather than May, allowing them to fully ripen and reach their peak golden color and sweetness.
This is a certified-organic maesil.
Crafted by a Certified Master
This extract is made by Lim Jang-ok, a Food Grand Master (식품명인) officially designated by Korea's Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs for preserving traditional maesil-making methods — a mark of authenticity that goes beyond typical farm-to-bottle claims.
How to Enjoy It
Beyond tea, this extract is a versatile pantry staple: mix it with soju for a smooth maesil cocktail, whisk it into a salad dressing, use it to season vegetable side dishes, or brush it over fish or meat while cooking to cut odor and add a savory-sweet finish.
If you're looking for a new natural beverage to try, this is a great place to start.

What's the Difference Between Golden Maesil and Green Maesil?
Golden maesil and green maesil aren't different varieties — the names simply reflect how ripe the fruit is at harvest.
Green maesil is picked early, around May 15, while still vividly green and firm. Its crisp texture makes it ideal for pickling.
Golden maesil is left on the tree to fully ripen and is harvested in June. It's the better choice for maesil extract or maesil wine, since it produces a much richer aroma than green maesil.

What recipes can I use with this golden maesil?
1. Mix Golden Maesil Extract with water at a 1:4~5 ratio.
Mix 1 part maesil extract with 4–5 parts hot water (or iced water) for a healthy maseil tea. It's also delicious with a bit of honey added to taste.
2. Cooking with Golden Maesil Extract boosts both flavor and nutrition!
Use it as a salad dressing or mix it into various seasoned vegetable side dishes (namul) — its sweet-tangy taste really enhances the flavor.
3. Mix Golden Maesil Extract with soju at a 1:10 ratio for a maesil cocktail.
Just as vinegar is sometimes added to soju, mixing in golden maesil extract makes for a smooth, easy-drinking cocktail. Adjust the ratio to your personal taste.
4. Add a savory depth to your family's table!
Brushing a little golden maesil extract on fish while grilling removes the fishy smell and brings out a rich, savory flavor. It also works well for marinating meat or as a finishing touch on salads and side dishes.
Maesil Farm on the Banks of the Seomjin River
Plum blossoms adorn the riverbanks as if guiding the clear Seomjin River of Namdo. When the blossoms scatter in the wind, spring fills the air.
The area around the Seomjin River, which connects Gwangyang City in South Jeolla Province and Hadong County in South Gyeongsang Province, is a major production region for maesil.
Because the winters are warm and rainfall is relatively abundant, it is a perfect environment for growing maesil.
The place where this golden maesil is grown is is Daap-myeon, Gwangyang City, along the Seomjin River.
With clean air and unpolluted soil, free of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and the devoted care of farmers — this is eco-friendly maesil.
