Blocks that are bright red, pinkish or overly light-coloured \u2014 these may indicate under-fermentation or added colouring, which might not produce the optimal flavour desired. Why this matters: The deeper colour typically signals longer fermentation and stronger, more developed flavour. (Belacan turns from rosy pink to deep brown through fermentation) SECTION 2 Texture &amp; Firmness: \u201cFeel for Density\u201d The block should feel firm, dense and compact when you handle it.

Why this matters: A properly processed belacan holds shape, stores better and gives better flavour when toasted or cooked. SECTION 3 Aroma: \u201cSmell the Right Kind of Funk You should detect a clear strong fermented shrimp aroma &#8211; not rotten Or decay. Avoid a scent that&#8217;s sharp acidic, overly fishy or unpleasant, a result of fillers other than shrimp e.g. other sea products that are unfit for fermentation. Why this matters Belacan&#8217;s distinctive smell comes from proper fermentation of krill\/shrimp and salt over the right time and processes. It contributes to that flavourful umami punch in dishes.
