Pure chilli character, simple and unapologetic.
SHORT DESCRIPTION
A versatile chilli paste-style sauce with straightforward red chilli flavour, tang and savoury depth.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION / FLAVOR PROFILE
Classic Sambal Oelek celebrates chilli in a direct, uncomplicated way. Its coarse, paste-like character delivers fresh red chilli flavour with balanced acidity and saltiness, allowing the chilli itself to stay at the centre. Less sweet than many table sauces, it is an excellent choice for cooking, dipping and adding controlled heat to recipes without changing their overall flavour too much.
