Nando's PERi-naise Hot

Nando's PERi-naise is a signature condiment that blends the creaminess of mayonnaise with the spicy heat of the African Bird's Eye Chilli, also known as Peri-Peri. The brand is deeply rooted in South African history, having been founded in Rosettenville in 1987 by Portuguese-born Fernando Duarte and Robert Brozin. This cultural fusion of Portuguese and South African influences is reflected in their world-famous sauces and restaurant menu.

While the brand originated in South Africa, its retail products, including PERi-naise, are produced in various locations globally to meet international demand, commonly including the Netherlands and South Africa. The Nando's Group continues to be a major multinational hospitality chain, with its grocery range becoming a staple in supermarkets worldwide.

Ownership of the Nando's brand is held through a complex international structure, but it is ultimately controlled by the Capricorn Group, an investment firm associated with the Enthoven family. This private ownership has seen the brand grow from a single restaurant to a global household name across the United Kingdom, United States, and beyond. All grocery products are typically managed through dedicated retail divisions to ensure the same quality as the sauces used in their restaurants.
