Indian foodies discover a hot new flame – Nando’s PERi-PERi sauce!

Nando’s sauces are now available in 30+ cities and 2,400 stores across India.

1​4^th November, 2017: Nando’s, best known for its legendary flame grilled PERi-PERi chicken, has officially launched their delicious PERi-PERi sauces in India! Nando’s Grocery have brought us 2 amazing flavours: Lemon & Herb and Hot. These sauces are available in user-friendly sizes of 125ml and 250ml, and are priced at Rs.250 and Rs.390 per bottle respectively.

Nando’s sauces are available at retail stores in Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Mumbai and Chennai. You can also find them online at Amazon.in and Big Basket.

“In 1987, Nando’s opened its first Afro-Portuguese restaurant in Johannesburg, South Africa. In 1989, one of South Africa’s top retailers suggested we bottle PERi-PERi, and so we did. Now, there are Nando’s Sauces on the shelves of key retailers in 30 countries around the globe and India was always one of our prime target markets. The journey of our sauces began under the hot sun in fertile soils of South Africa, where our unique African Bird’s Eye Chilli known as PERi-PERi thrived and ripened. Our chillies are hand nurtured and picked by 1,400 dedicated, independent farmers. Four of our favourite flavours are now available in packaged bottles at stores near you enabling you to bring Nando’s PERi-PERi to your own kitchen." said Georg Gruber – Nando’s, Grocery CEO.

“Another delight for our customers is that the sauces are gluten free, no artificial preservatives, no artificial colouring, no artificial flavorings and no added MSG (Monosodium Glutamate). This will give our customers an authentic taste of legendary PERi-PERi which is the perfect partner to any meal and delivers flavour first, heat second” he further added.

Unlike most hot sauces on the shelf, the label design is fun, youthful and bold – which echoes the brand’s identity. The stripped back labels reveal more of the natural ingredients used in the range including lemons, garlic, herbs, onions and full-bodied PERi-PERi chillies.
