Which sambal should I start with if I am new to it?▼

Yes. Spice Island Indonesia delivers across the UK. Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, and key delivery information is shown on the product and shop pages.
What makes your sambal different from generic hot sauce?▼
Our sambal is built around Indonesian flavour, not just heat. That means proper chilli character, aromatic ingredients, and recipes rooted in Indonesian cooking rather than generic vinegar-led hot sauce profiles.

Expect to pay a premium over generic chilli paste because authentic sambal is ingredient-led and small-batch. Our main jars sit in the premium everyday range, and the sample pack gives a lower-cost way to start.
