THE PIRI PIRI STORY
In 1498 when the Portuguese explores sailed up to the east coast of Africa on their way to India, they discovered many wonderful things, the most wonderful thing they found was a small very unique strong tasting chilli which the local people (who spoke Swahili) called Peri-Peri (some call it Piri-Piri or even Pili-Pili) they used Peri-Peri as Medicine and also to enhance the flavour of their food. Our ancestors realized how good Piri-Piri was because it tasted so delicious and so they loaded their ships with Piri-Piri to introduce it to the rest of the world.

Today you get Piri-Piri anywhere. Piri-Piri is rich in vitamin A and C but much important is that it gives new life to your food. This chilli may be small but packs some serious heat, not to mention flavour, considered one of the spiciest chillies around, measuring in and around 170,000 scoville units. Piri-Piri chilli is the secret to creating those tantalizing sauces that add those finishing touches to your succulent chicken.
