Hey I just saw a Spanish-language Maggi the other day. Small bottle. Hispanic foods aisle of Vons. All in Spanish. Made in USA too. Think it’s the same thing?

Wandering Chopsticks - I think the difference is mostly psychological, but that said I think the European is less salty and more rounded in flavor? That’s very subjective, as it’s salty as all hell no matter which version you get. That’s why I love it!

In terms of expense - I picked up the European version in a huge bottle for around $15 on sale recently. I think it usually goes for $18. I do buy the big bottles because I use so much of it. The small bottles seem too expensive for me - I’ve seen them go for as much as $9, and is about 1/8 the amount you get in the large bottle.

V - I’ve had the Golden Mountain, I like it. There’s also a product I found that bills itself as “garlic chili soy” that has a distinct Maggi-like nose to it. But Maggi has too many childhood memories for me - I can never forsake it. It’s like your favorite teddy bear.

My sister and I have a long running debate over this. Well, mostly between imported Maggi and Golden Mountain sauces. The US Maggi (that you’ll see at Ralph’s) is already out of the question.

Well, rule #1 is to always get small bottles, and keep them out of the light, just like fish sauce.

Try the Golden Mountain, it’s packaged suspiciously similarly to Maggi, but you’ll find that it has a “brighter” taste. I performed all taste tests on white jasmine rice.

What’s the difference in taste between stateside and abroad? Man, and I already think the stateside price is expensive.

I love my Maggi with banh mi op la.

GC, hey i love maggi sauce. I have not seen the imported version. i love adding extra drops to my fried eggs (with Sriracha) and my banh mi sandwiches. so good. thai cuisine also calls for this in dishes like pad see eew - but they don’t use maggi. it’s simply labeled “soya bean sauce”. their soy sauce is different from chinese style.
