That’s because, way back in the 15th Century, they were introduced to the Bird’s Eye Chilli. Growing under the warm sun in the rich soils of Africa, this was a spice so nice, it had been named it twice! Called PERi-PERi, this hot little number put fire in the explorers’ bellies and ignited passion in their souls. They added it to a handful of herbs, spices, a squeeze of sun-ripened lemons and a dash of garlic. Together with their love of life, friends, fun and good food they created the first Gosto Delicioso (great taste) of addictive PERi-PERi sauce. Today, our own recipe remains a closely guarded secret. But what’s no secret is that we love sharing our forefathers’ traditions of hospitality, friendship, simple family pleasures and the addictive taste of PERi-PERi. We can’t pinpoint exactly what makes it so addictive, but we do know it tantalizes the tastebuds and adds passion to a meal! We believe (even if we don’t know for sure) that PERi-PERi releases endorphins in your body, which create a sense of happiness and increased energy. Some say it gives the tastebuds a really great workout and others reckon it’s an aphrodisiac! But… we’ll leave that for you to find out. Enjoy the discovery!
