Hot chilli pepper, African heritage in Portuguese cuisine.

About Piri-Piri

Piri-piri is a small, hot chilli pepper originating from Africa, arriving in Portugal through colonial routes. It became a fundamental ingredient in roast chicken, chorizo and many Portuguese dishes. Piri-piri sauce is a universal condiment on Portuguese tables. At A Pharmácia da Avó, while our cuisine is gentle and comforting, piri-piri is available as a condiment for those who appreciate the heat.
