Calisto’s Thunder Bum Braai Sauce

Thunder Bum is Calisto’s legendary braai sauce — a sticky, sweet-and-smoky basting sauce built for the fire, with a name that starts conversations around every braai.

Tomato, garlic, paprika and a chorus of herbs cook down into a glossy baste that caramelises beautifully over coals, with just enough chilli to earn its name.

How to use braai sauce

• Baste ribs, wings and chops during the last minutes on the braai
• Brush over chicken sosaties and boerewors for a glossy finish
• Use as an oven marinade for sticky wings on a rainy day
• The 125ml bottle tucks neatly into any braai kit or padkos bag

Like every Calisto’s sauce, Thunder Bum is made in South Africa on recipes refined since 1992 and is Halaal certified. Choose 250ml for the house or 125ml for the road — both delivered countrywide. Find its brothers in fire across the Calisto’s sauce range.
