Piri-Piri Sauce, 100 ml

Piri-piri sauce is a fiery emblem of Portuguese gastronomy — a vibrant, chilli-infused condiment that brings heat, depth and character to countless dishes. In Portugal, piri-piri (from the Swahili pilipili meaning “pepper”) is celebrated as much more than a spice: it’s a flavour-statement, used generously to season grilled chicken, seafood, stews and even hearty vegetable dishes.

In the kitchen of home cooks and restaurants alike, this sauce is a go-to for adding that unmistakable Portuguese kick.

With Tremoceira’s piri-piri sauce, the tradition is honoured in full. Handcrafted in Portugal using authentic piri-piri (“jindungo”) chillies, red peppers, salt, a touch of lemon-aura and natural spices, it delivers extra hot intensity alongside fresh chilli-flavour.

Whether splashed over a whole grilled chicken (“frango”) fresh from the barbeque, drizzled over roasted fish fillets or folded into a spicy marinade, it brings both heat and a bright chilli-pepper tang.

In the home kitchen this sauce shines for its versatility. Use it as a marinade base: coat chicken wings or thighs, leave to sit and then grill or bake. Stir a little into sautéed shrimp, roasted vegetables or even a tomato-lentil soup to lift the flavour.

For sandwiches, burgers or grilled halloumi, a small dash transforms the mundane into something memorable. With careful restraint it also works as a dipping sauce alongside fries or crudités — perfect for those who like heat but want control.

Store it in the fridge after opening, shake well before use, and you’ll find it’s the kind of pantry essential that can turn everyday meals into spicy Portuguese-style experiences.
