Trader Joe’s Peri-Peri Sauce has arrived and this condiment is the ultimate pantry staple.
For those unfamiliar, is an African condiment made from a blend of African bird's eye chili. The sauce generally has a complex flavor that's spicy, but also a little bit salty and a little bit sweet. Trader Joe’s Peri-Peri Sauce is made by a supplier in South Africa and offers a unique take on the signature condiment. Trader Joe's version is made from a blend of fermented chilies, dried chili flakes, lemon juice, and garlic. As Trader Joe's describes the new product, "It’s spicy, a little sour, even a little sweet, and has a smooth, creamy texture that keeps you coming back for more, bite after bite."
