Conimex Sambal Oelek (Hot Chilli Paste) (6 oz)

I thought the Conimex brand, formerly a Best Foods imported, was no longer being imported when Best Foods was sold to Unilever (Holland). So I was very pleased to find it on Amazon. This is a spicy Dutch Indonesian chili sauce. I use it to make the peanut butter sauce/dip for Satay and for a Firecracker Salmon Sauce which is good as a dip for fried chicken tenders. The Satay dip also works well when used on the Asian style instant cup-o-noodles. I think it is the best flavored one out there and it doesn’t seem to lose its kick after it is opened.

Same sambal we had in Indonesia use it in everything to spice it up.

Great flavor with enough spice. The spice level is excellent and doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients in your meal. Definitely a repeat buy.

If you like Indonesian food, as we do, and if you like Indonesian spices to add to the flavor of whatever you cook at home (as we do), having a selection of Conimex spices, from Holland, is a must. No more need be said.

Technically it is not expired. However I received the sambal on Dec 30th 2024 with expiration for Jan 2025. This is not a product you finish within one month.This product has normally an expiration of 3 years in the future.

The flavor isn't bad but the most noticeable first impression is it is too salty. The Huy Fong Sambal is a lot better. The saltiness seems to diminish a bit when it is actually put into the food.

I’ve tried product at other location and quality (taste) was much better.

This is the brand that you buy when you want the highest quality. My Dad swore by it and after tasting it compared to others, it’s worth the slightly higher price.
