Pollo Diablo has been in the making for at least a generation. My father grew up in Portugal and loved a hot sauce there made from the Piri Piri pepper. When he grew up he moved to the United States but whenever he visited Portugal he would bring his favorite hot sauce. It quickly became my favorite when I became old enough to handle spice.

As it was a challenge to find this sauce in the United States, I had to get it from small specialty stores or find other means of getting it shipped from Portugal. It has always been my dream to bring this fantastic cultural icon, and amazing tasting hot sauce, into the U.S. and make it easy for anyone to get!

I have the perfect recipe, with the #1 producer and bottler in Portugal as my partner and a fantastic group of people who are more than excited to see this sauce introduced in the United States!

Our first edition!

Pollo Diablo Hot Sauces are all natural, with GMO-free ingredients and is Gluten Free! I have this hot sauce designed to have a fiery kick that doesn't linger, and is filled with flavor!

Not too hot to be unbearable, but a hot enough kick that makes it delicious!

What's after Kickstarter?

Not only am I planning on opening up a website to sell this hot sauce online but I am also working on getting this hot sauce into many big retailers. I want Pollo Diablo to be a huge success, with hot sauce blogs, cook books, forums, and many more products like Piri Piri chilis in whiskey (That one takes a lot of permits to sell!) as well as a bunch of other surprises!

I want this hot sauce to be on the shelves right next to Tapatio, Tabasco, and Sriracha, and to make a sauce that is worthy of becoming your new favorite!

Our three flavors!

History

Piri Piri is famous in Portugal. When the first explorers left Portugal and found new lands, they brought back with them Piri Piri peppers. This spice was easy to grow, and is hardy enough to grow wildly in Africa. The sauce is even immortalized in a famous Portuguese dish called "Piri Piri Chicken."
