It's not difficult to make mapo tofu at home, but it is hard to get the taste just right. This product duplicates that at home. It's got nice heat to it but not hot-hot or hot-hot-hot, esp when combined with tofu and some pork sausage and green onions and a little broth in the pan when cooking down. I would buy it again.
The real deal - looked all around town without any luck and wanted to try an authentic recipe. Don't be fooled by the grocery store imitations that aren't even made with broad beans. This has the right color, flavor, and heat for authentic Sichuan cooking. It might cost a little more, but it is totally worth it!
Since Sichuan broad bean paste is not readily available around here, I cannot compare this one to other brands of similar items.
However, I will say that it makes a huge difference in some of my Sichuan dishes, and I am exceedingly grateful that I was able to buy it online here!
I like to experiment with other cuisines- mostly various Indian and Chinese ones at the moment- and sometimes it's hard to find the ingredients. I'm lucky that there's a good Indian store handy, but there's no convenient Asian market. Thank goodness for the Internet!
