Ketjap Manis Kentel No. 1

Ketjap Manis Kentel No. 1 is a thick, sweet soy sauce that is a staple in Dutch and Indonesian-inspired cuisine. Based on original Indonesian recipes, this specific brand is managed and produced by Vanka-Kawat, situated in the Netherlands. The sauce is known for its syrupy consistency, known as 'Kentel' in Indonesian, and is produced using traditional fermentation methods combined with aromatic spices and palm sugar.

The brand originates from the post-colonial culinary exchange between Indonesia and the Netherlands. Vanka-Kawat, a family-founded company, has been the steward of this brand for decades, ensuring its availability in European supermarkets. Today, it remains under the ownership of Vanka-Kawat, maintaining its position as a preferred choice for authentic flavor in sauces and marinades.
