Welcome to the story of the PERi-PERi Chilli. Our story began centuries ago, when Portuguese explorers set out in search of spices. After months of sailing the high seas, they accomplished their mission. The famous Spice Route to the East had been discovered!
Southern Africa soon became a stopover for the explorers and it was here that they discovered the Birds-Eye Chilli, called Pili-Pili by the local Swahili's. The settlers adopted the name PERi-PERi, and started using this fiery ingredient with a blend of herbs and spices as part of their cuisine.
PERi-PERi recipes have always been a source of family pride and have been passed down from generation to generation. Nando's PERi-PERi sauces are just that - a combination of old-world mystery and fiercely guarded family secrets.
