The history and origin of PERI-PERI Sauce in South Africa
Nando's PERi-PERi Sauce has its roots in the vibrant culinary traditions of Mozambique and Portugal, where the small yet proud African bird's eye chili, known as PERi-PERi, was first cultivated and cherished for its intense flavor. When Nando's was founded in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1987, the founders brought this rich heritage into the spotlight by creating their own version of PERi-PERi sauce. This unique blend of chilies, herbs, and spices quickly became the hallmark of Nando's flame-grilled chicken, offering a taste sensation that combined heat, tang, and complexity.
Over the years, Nando's PERi-PERi Sauce has grown from a local favorite to an international sensation, becoming an essential part of South African cuisine. The sauce's versatility, used as both a marinade and a condiment, has endedeared it to home cooks and chefs alike. Today, Nando's PERi-PERi Sauce is not just a key ingredient in the brand's restaurants but also a beloved product found in kitchens across South Africa, allowing fans to bring the bold, fiery flavors of Nando's into their homes.
