Sambal Oelek is a traditional chilli paste deeply rooted in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine. The name "oelek" refers to the traditional stone mortar (ulek) in which the peppers were originally crushed, symbolizing its simplicity and authenticity. Unlike other Sambal variants (e.g., Sambal Terasi with shrimp paste), Oelek focuses on the pure, distinct flavour and heat of the chilli, making it incredibly versatile.

The product offered by Windmill, although produced in the Netherlands, maintains fidelity to Asian recipes, offering the high quality and intensity of flavour that lovers of spicy food expect. The Windmill brand, known for importing and producing authentic Asian food products, ensures that the chilli peppers used in the paste (which make up as much as 86% of the composition) have been carefully selected to deliver maximum sensation. It should be noted that, according to the information on the packaging, the chilli peppers themselves do not originate from the Netherlands, suggesting that the raw material is sourced from regions where the chilli achieves the best quality.

This paste is an absolute must-have for anyone who wants to add fire to their dishes. Its consistency, similar to a thick, coarsely ground puree, allows for easy dosing and even distribution of heat. It is not just a seasoning but an ingredient that can completely transform the character of a dish. Just a teaspoon is enough to transport you culinarily to the heart of Southeast Asia. Windmill Sambal Oelek Paste is the choice for chefs who value both tradition and ease of use. With its help, you can quickly and efficiently create dishes full of depth, intense colour, and unforgettable heat.
