Black goat extract gift with herbal aroma: Heukmidam Premium

Thinking about a Parents' Day gift, I brought Heukmidam Premium Black Goat Extract to my parents' home. The product was provided to me, and I shared it with family and acquaintances while looking at its packaging and aroma.

Which black goat extract did I give as a gift?

Heukmidam Premium Black Goat Extract is introduced as a product made with black goat ingredients, using only female black goats raised in Korea.

Heukmidam is a restaurant specializing in black goat soup, with its headquarters in Namyangju. It says that the black goat extract previously sold at its restaurant is now also sold online.

I brought it along as a gift for my mother when I went to visit my parents.

What are the volume and ingredients?

The product is called Heukmidam Premium Black Goat Extract, with a total volume of 2,100mL. It contains 30 pouches of 70mL each, and was labeled as a processed extract food.

The product description highlights Korean female black goats and a blend of 19 ingredients. I checked the specific blend in the ingredient and content information.

The ingredient information listed 90% black goat extract [5.07% Korean black goat solids, purified water] and 10% mixed plant extract. The mixed plant extract included kudzu root, prepared rehmannia root, dandelion, achyranthes root, angelica root, eucommia bark, jujube, reishi mushroom, cnidium rhizome, scutellaria root, Korean mint, dried tangerine peel, castor aralia, malt, wormwood, licorice, dried ginger, 야관문, eleuthero, and oligosaccharides.

How does it say to take and store it?

The recommended directions were to shake and take one pouch at a time, once or twice a day. It said to transfer it to another container before heating it in a microwave, and to store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

How were the gift box and individual pouches?

The packaging felt suitable for giving as a gift. There were 30 pouches in total, with 10 pouches in each box.

When I opened the box, each pouch was individually wrapped, so it was easy to take one out as needed.

My mother was pleased to receive the gift. An acquaintance who was with us also said they wanted to try a pouch, so I gave them one.

How did the gamey smell and herbal aroma feel?

To me, it did not have the characteristic fishy or gamey smell of black goat; instead, it had a strong herbal aroma. The aroma was strong, but the liquid did not feel particularly thick.

It was introduced as a product made in a HACCP-certified facility.

How did my family and acquaintance react to the gift?

The acquaintance who tried a pouch described it as “a flavor that wakes your eyes up,” saying it felt energizing. This was their personal impression after having one pouch.

My mother said she would take out a pouch when traveling for work or when she felt tired. Seeing how pleased she was with the gift made me feel it was worthwhile to prepare for my parents.
