Calisto’s Hot Peri-Peri Sauce

Calisto’s hot peri-peri sauce is the original recipe turned up — 4% bird’s eye chilli riding on the same garlic-and-paprika base that made the name.

The heat arrives quickly and settles into a warm, savoury burn; garlic and vinegar keep it tasting like food, not fire for its own sake.

How to use Calisto’s hot peri-peri sauce

• Baste braai chicken the Portuguese way — brush, flip, repeat
• Marinate prawns, steak and chicken livers before the pan
• Splash over burgers, wraps and gatsbys for instant fire
• Keep the 125ml at work for lunches that need rescuing

It’s the same Halaal-certified sauce Jorge Calisto built his restaurant’s name on in 1992, bottled in South Africa ever since. Choose your size and order online — delivery countrywide. Not your heat? Browse all the classic peri-peri sauces from Mild to Extra Hot.
