The process begins with onions and garlic and vinegar for one to two years inside the pickling barrels. The bulbs slowly liquefy, their flavor infusing the liquid. Other barrels contain anchovies cured in salt for several months. Additional ingredients include salt, sugar, white vinegar, malt vinegar, tamarind concentrate, molasses and a top-secret blend of flavors and spices. Starting with the two vinegars, workers pour the ingredients one at a time into a gigantic blending tanks…there goes the tamarind concentrate now the anchovies. The ingredient proportions are top-secret, as is the prescribed mixing time between ingredients. Now the pickled onions and garlic. Sugar and salt and that secret blend of flavorings and spices. Next they pump the mixture into maturation tanks.
Following this, the mixture sits for several months so the ingredients can interact with each other, and the mixture is stirred occasionally to keep everything blended together. After several months it's put through a sieve and then blended and strained again before finally being strained to kill microorganisms so it maintains its flavor.
