This iconic Malaysian condiment is now made in our own kitchen and available in yours. Try out the authentic sauce and bring Malaysia home. Just one whiff and you will know. 
And its LACTO-FERMENTED -  The Lacto-fermenting process allows healthy bacteria (like lactic acid bacteria) to convert carbohydrates (or sugars) in the peppers into acid and maintaining the correct pH balance which is important for keeping out bad bacteria and preserving the hot sauce also giving it a positive effect on the digestive system, and long shelf-life. It adds a tang and depth of flavour you just don’t get from regular hot sauces due to the complexity in flavors it brings out in the sauce. 
  • Our Malay Sambal is handcrafted and made with fresh ingredients. A duo of fiery Red chilies, thin long spicy ones, and the winter special big chilies are muddled with farm-fresh Lemongrass, fragrant Galangal, small onions & garlic along with fresh Turmeric to make this Malaysian delicacy. 
  • It's SPICY, tangy, super fragrant, and has a mildly sweet note to soothe the palet from the spice hit in the end. 
  • Each ingredient is hand peeled, hand-cut, sun-dried, and then muddled and steeped together to make this delicious sauce.

      FAQs

      Why Is Old Fashioned Gourmet Pickle Priced Higher?

      At Old Fashioned Gourmet, we believe in delivering nothing but the best. Our pickles are made using the season's finest vegetables, such as carefully selected mangoes of a specific variety, picked at the perfect stage of ripeness and weight. Each ingredient is handled with care — spices are hand-sorted, hand-pounded, and individually roasted to lock in their natural oils and flavors. We use premium ingredients like Pink Himalayan salt and cold-pressed oil, with every jar fermented naturally in the sun, just as tradition dictates.This artisan process is entirely handmade, requiring time, manual effort, and attention to detail. We don’t compromise on quality, which is why our pickles offer the authentic taste of tradition, made with care and excellence.

      Why Are Other Pickles So Inexpensive?

      Many mass-produced pickles use shortcuts to reduce costs. They rely on low-cost, refined salts and cheaper oils to bulk up the product, often sacrificing quality and taste. Unlike traditional recipes passed down by our grandmothers, they use fewer premium spices and authentic ingredients. This allows them to offer lower prices, but at the expense of flavor, nutrition, and heritage.

      At Old Fashioned Gourmet, we refuse to compromise. We use only the finest ingredients and time-honored methods to ensure you get the very best.

      Does Your Pickle Expire?

      Our pickles are naturally fermented, which means they are designed to last for years. Fermentation acts as a natural preservative, allowing the flavors to deepen and improve over time. In fact, the longer they age, the richer and more intense the taste becomes.

      While they don't expire quickly, we include a "Best By" date on our jars to adhere to food safety regulations.

      Why Are Pickles Discouraged for Those Managing Blood Pressure?

      Pickles are often seen as a concern for blood pressure because many mass-produced varieties are packed with high sodium levels. To cut costs, large manufacturers use cheap, refined salt in excessive amounts, significantly raising sodium content and potential health risks, especially for those with high blood pressure.

      At Old Fashioned Gourmet, we follow a healthier, traditional approach. We use Pink Himalayan salt, which is naturally lower in sodium and rich in beneficial trace minerals. Carefully measured amounts of this salt, just like our grandmothers used, ensure that our pickles stay true to tradition, flavorful, and far more heart-friendly—an ideal choice for maintaining healthier blood pressure levels.

      How Does Cold-Pressed Oil Help?

      Cold-pressed oil retains the natural nutrients and essential fatty acids that are often lost in heat-processed oils, making it a healthier choice. By avoiding high temperatures, cold-pressed oils preserve antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve overall wellness.

      Additionally, the natural extraction process ensures a pure, rich flavor that enhances both the taste and health benefits of foods like our pickles.
