Last week on the blog I reviewed the Costco Kirkland Signature Peppermint Bark, the Costco Prairie Creek Kitchen Beef Sausage Rolls, the Costco After Eight Assorted Mint Pieces, Desserts On Us Laceys Macadamia Milk Chocolate Cookies and the Costco Kirkland Signature Christmas Fruit Cake.
I also posted my Top Ten Costco Appetizers for Christmas.

Today I’m reviewing the Costco Nando’s Peri-Peri Sauce. I’ve seen this at my Costco for quite some time however I’ve never tried it before! I picked it up to make some wings.
I didn’t know what Peri-Peri sauce was so I went to google. It’s a hot chili pepper sauce that is made out of a mix of African Bird’s Eye Chili along with other ingredients.
I paid $10.99 Canadian for the one liter bottle of sauce which to me, seems a little expensive!
The sauce comes in a glass bottle with a screw top and the expiry date is 13 months from the date I purchased it. Although the expiry date is so long, the bottle recommends consuming the sauce within three months of opening it. Also be sure to refrigerate your sauce after you open it as well. This is made in the Netherlands, which I think is kind of cool!
There are no artificial flavours or colours and the sauce is gluten-free! It’s calorie-free and fat-free. The only thing you need to watch is the sodium content as one teaspoon has 120 mg of sodium and a single teaspoon isn’t a ton.
For a medium sauce I found this really spicy! It is really quite flavourful and you don’t just taste heat. You can strongly taste lemon, onion, garlic and paprika. If you’re a hot sauce fan I think you’d really enjoy this because of the depth of flavour as well as the big punch of heat. The overall flavour is hot, slightly sour from the lemon and salty. If you’re someone who doesn’t like hot sauces, I’d stay away from it. I recommend using the sauce on chicken and have even seen online some people putting it on rice, noodles and fish.
Cost: 7/10
Convenience: 10/10
Nutrition: 8/10 (have to watch that sodium!)
Taste: 7/10 (it’s dependent on how much you like spice, my husband likes spice and he thinks it’s pretty tasty)
I really love this sauce, and have gone thru 3 bottles in an year. Don’t know what I would do without it .
It’s from the restaurant Nandos. Chicken marinated in this sauce. Really good.
I marinated chicken with this sauce and then cooked with butter chicken sauce. It was so delicious!
I use it with fried chicken and it tastes great.
I love it mixed with mayo as a burger sauce. You can make it as hot as you want. This mixture is also great on almost any sandwich. Roast beef, roast pork, etc.
I love the sauce but I’m Portuguese! Lol I didn’t know it was best to use within 3 months, thanks got the tip.
