Product Description
- Flavor Profile: Intense umami, savory, and slightly sweet. Because of the high oyster content, it has a "cleaner" seafood aroma without the chemical aftertaste found in cheaper versions.
- Texture: Thick, glossy, and dark brown. It is designed to coat vegetables and meats evenly, providing a professional "restaurant glaze."
- Key Distinction: While standard oyster sauces may contain only 2–5% oyster extract, the PRB Premium (and "Top Grade") versions typically contain between 20% and 45% oyster extract.

- Oyster Extractives (Oyster, Water, Salt)

- Salt
- Modified Corn Starch (used as a thickener)
- Flavour Enhancer (MSG/E621)
