Tio Zé Piri Piri Sauce Tio Zé Piri Piri prides itself on flavour and not on busting the Scoville (Chili Richter) meter. First, the flavour hits, followed by a slow satisfying burn which tapers off allowing the taste to linger on. We use chili varieties such as Thai Chilis & African Birds Eye. Chili heat may vary depending on the season, as stated on the label. No artificial flavours/colours. It is only the chilies and spices that give Tio Zé
products their beautiful colour. As these natural colours are light sensitive, they may change/vary, as stated on the label. However, taste and quality are not affected.

ALL NATURAL
There are no artificial preservatives in Tio Zé products. When storing, a constantly cool, low light environment, preferably refrigeration, is important to ensure product freshness and integrity are not compromised. Once opened, products must be refrigerated. When refrigerated, retail glass bottles have a 12-month shelf life however are best used within 3/4 months once opened. No emulsifiers or stabilisers (or any other artificial food additives). Which is the reason the sauce separates. To release the flavours, the sauce is best when chilled and vigoursly shaken until the ingredients, i.e. the “smoosh” & “liquid”, are thoroughly combined and turned a glowing shade of “piri piri orange”, then quickly dispensed into a bowl and used…with everything.

CONCENTRATED & VERSATILE
Use as a concentrate added to other ingredients & create mouthwatering combinations for marinating, basting, dipping, toppings and sauces – or simply use as a condiment (best when chilled) to go with anything and everything.
• Ideal with seafood, meat, chicken, cheese, vegetables, salads, pasta, stews, vegan recipes to name a few options.
• Add to Crème Fraiche, Buttermilk, Mayo, Cottage Cheese, Yoghurt, Feta Cheese (the saltiness makes the flavours POP). Or with cream to make Prego sauce.
• Combine with non-dairy and/or Vegan alternatives

WHY SUNFLOWER OIL AND NOT OLIVE OIL?
Olive oil congeals when refrigerated and if used as the base, our sauce becomes difficult to dispense and visually unappealing. We use NON-GMO Sunflower Oil.
• As Olive Oil lovers ourselves, we pour a couple tablespoons of Tio Zé Piri Piri Sauce & Oil into a bowl and lightly mix in a splash of olive oil.
• As the liquid in a bottle runs down, the sauce may become thick and difficult to pour. Add a little oil of your choice, shake up well and use until finished.
