Peri Peri Piri Piri Portuguese Spice Hot Sauce 50ml

Yes, it is a small bottle, yes it has an oil-based consistency, yes, its absolutely wonderful. Trust me you get what you pay for, its that good. Its imported from Portugal. To many bad reviews simply because people don't know what they're buying. If you want a a thick-based hot sauce then buy Portugals other famous brand Macarico Piri Piri, it has the consistency and look of Franks hot sauce. The oil based Piri Piri is spectacular on fish, roasted vegetables, eggs, salads.... anything you would maybe add an oil to.. even submarine sandwiches. If ya know , ya know.

I use this sauce on eggs, meats, in soups - it's the best. Unfortunately, the three bottles came packaged loose in a bubble-wrap lined mailing envelope. One of the bottles had leaked, so the envelope had big oil spots on it. The post office had placed the whole envelope inside a sealed plastic bag along with their "we care" message. Then, of course, I dropped the leaky bottle and broke it. Not a good experience! At least I still have the other two bottles, which are intact, but it's now two bottles for the price of three.

Had this at a small restaurant in Sintra with an assortment of meats, and ordered it immediately right there at the table on Amazon.It’s such a unique kind of hot sauce. It’s not a sauce really. It’s more of a pepper infused oil, but it’s like a complex peppercorn type of spice and not so much a searing pepper plant kind of spice.This is something you sprinkle on top of a fairly unobtrusive dish, because this will become the central flavor. You don’t want it competing with something like a heavily marinated pork. I think you could toss this in chicken wings, swirl it into a really simple pasta butter sauce, or sprinkle some on top of your Mac and cheese before serving. It’s a prime candidate for back of the cupboard “secret ingredient” status—it’s completely unique.Expensive for how small it is, but a little goes a long way.

Lots of reviews complaining about the size of the bottle, but the size is clearly listed in the description. I like this one because it actually has the peri peri flavor you'd find on real peri peri chicken. It's oil based, not a hot sauce. And just a few drops go a long way, so despite the size it will last you a while.

I would not characterize this as "Hot Sauce" in the typical American sense of the term. This is essentially piri piri oil. The flavor is good, but I was hoping that it would be more sauce like (e.g., tobasco).Others have said the flavor is strong, but I do not find that to be the case. It comes out 1 drop at a time, and I find I need 20 drops or so to get a good flavor and spice on two scrambled eggs.

I actually ordered this while sitting at a riverfront restaurant in Porto, Portugal. I noticed the bottle on my table and recognized Piri Piri as a type of pepper. Since I'm a spice guy, I had to try it and shook some onto my "Bitoque". It's a unique hot sauce - not extremely hot, just moderately spicy. It is oil-based which I welcomed, as I feel vinegar-based sauces tend to mask the flavor of some dishes. This blended perfectly with the juices of my steak! I entered the brand name on the bottle into the Amazon search bar and up came the picture of the little bottle sitting on my table. Since it had a 10-day lead-time, I placed the order right there and it arrived within 2 days of us being home.It's a small bottle, and probably a bit overpriced, but it lasts a while. It has a shaker top, and I usually use about 8 or 10 shakes on a steak, chicken cutlet, burger or any other meat dish. Don't compare it to Tabasco, Siracha, etc. as they are vinegar based and have a totally different flavor. And definitely don't pair the taste with Jimmy Dean roll-ups as stated in one of the laughable "poor" reviews. A completely unnatural flavor combination. Imagine putting a deliciously complex, Mediterranean based chili oil onto sage-flavored, processed breakfast sausage with fake yellow cheese and then calling the oil "vile"? I'm not sure how some people get through life unassisted.NOTE: I purchased this item on Amazon for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are not well written, brief, or give poor reviews based on not following directions, failing to read the product details prior to purchasing, inexperience or lack of skill. Writing useful reviews helps pay it forward.

I must thank the gentleman at the table next to me at O Coradinho in Lisbon (they only have six tables) for allowing me to taste from his bottle after he asked the waiter for it. I shan't forget you, and I hope you have recovered your ability to speak after your stroke.This is not a sauce, it is an infused oil. It is unlike anything else, quite spicy, delicious on fish or anything else for that matter.So this is $17 for 50ml. At 15 drops per ml, that works out to 2.3 cents per drop. Worth EVER penny.

Let me tell you that I bought this Piripiri well except that it was really similar to the Portuguese and guess what it is EXTRAORDINARY. I have some Portuguese friends who make it themselves with original products and this one is exactly the same. The flavor, the spiciness, the color and the texture. OMG. Thank you, you already have a new permanent client.
