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

I have tried to find chili paste tasting like Huy Fong's brand which is not available. This product is very, very close in taste. Expensive for a 6 oz jar compared to Huy Fong.

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.

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.

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.

JAR WAS RECEIVED OPEN, OLECK ALL OVER THE BUBBLE WRAP. MY MOM DID NOT TAKE PICTURES OF THIS, I FOUND THIS OUT TODAY!! JULY 9TH, 2023NO RETURNS, THIS IS NOT RIGHT.IT WAS A GIFT FOR MOTHER IN LAW, AND IT CAME TO HER A MESS.

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.

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.

Looking for a way out of Huy Fong's Sambal Oelek shortage? This ain't it. Just way too salty.Unnecessarily so; if you're cooking as a Huy Fong replacement you have to reduce other high-sodium ingredients. Even then, the flavor is just obscured by salt...
