Well-Cured for a Long Shelf Life: These shallots are clearly well-cured. They have a long shelf life in our dry storage, which is a major advantage for inventory management in our restaurant group.

Great Flavor, But Sizing is Inconsistent: The taste is amazing, truly authentic. The only challenge is the inconsistent sizing. Some are large and easy to peel, while others are very small and tedious. More uniform grading would be a huge help.

Arrived Dry and Firm, No Spoilage: Shallots can spoil if not handled properly. These arrived perfectly dry, firm, and with no signs of mold or sprouting. The quality of the curing and packing is excellent.

Sweet, Mild, and Perfectly Aromatic: These Indonesian shallots have a beautiful, mild sweetness that is perfect for our French and Asian dishes. They are not as sharp as regular onions. The aromatic quality is superb. A chef's favorite.

A Key Ingredient for Our Sambal Production: We manufacture a line of authentic Indonesian sambals. The specific flavor of these shallots is essential to our recipes. The quality has been consistently high, which is crucial for our brand.

Clean Product, Minimal Debris: The bags of shallots arrive very clean, with minimal dirt or loose skins. This indicates good cleaning and sorting processes before packing. We appreciate the attention to detail.

Excellent Flavor, But They Sprouted a Bit Fast: The taste is unmatched. However, we did notice that this last batch began to sprout a bit faster in our storage than previous orders. We had to use them quickly. Still, the quality when fresh is superb.

Responsive and Professional Service: We had to adjust our last order quantity, and the sales team was very responsive and accommodating. The professional service is as good as the product itself.

Perfect for Vinaigrettes and Dressings: We mince these shallots for our house vinaigrette. Their mild flavor provides the perfect savory base without the harshness of a regular onion. Our customers love our salad dressings.

Well-packaged for International Shipment: The mesh bags and sturdy cartons used for shipping protect the shallots well. They allow for good air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. A very well-thought-out packaging solution.

A Favorite Among Our Chef Clients: We are a produce distributor, and our chef clients specifically request these Indonesian shallots for their superior flavor. They are a high-demand item for us.

Excellent for Crispy Fried Shallots: We make our own crispy fried shallots (bawang goreng) as a garnish in our restaurant. These shallots slice thinly and fry up perfectly crisp and golden brown with a wonderful sweet flavor.

Consistently Excellent Quality: We have been ordering from this supplier for over a year, and the quality of the shallots has been excellent without exception. This level of consistency is what we look for in a long-term partner.

The Heart of Southeast Asian Cuisine: Our restaurant specializes in Southeast Asian cuisine, and these shallots are in almost every dish. The quality and authenticity of this product are fundamental to our success.

A Reliable Importer for Authentic Ingredients: As an importer of Asian specialty foods, finding a reliable source for authentic Indonesian shallots was key. This supplier has been fantastic. The product is genuine, and the service is professional.

Flavor is Spot-On, But Difficult to Peel: The flavor is perfect, truly authentic. The peeling, however, can be very time-consuming, especially with the smaller shallots. It adds a fair bit of labor cost. But the taste is worth it.
