In the early 2000s, Malik Habib’s travels through Mozambique and South Africa introduced him to flavours that stayed with him long after the journey ended. The heat, the depth, the rawness of chilli-driven dishes sparked something deeper than inspiration.

What began as recreating those flavours for family soon became Belos — a way to share the fire, culture, and emotion he experienced abroad. Today, Belos crafts bold sauces, spreads, and condiments rooted in Africa’s rich chilli heritage, with influences from across the world where chilli tells a story of passion and flavour.
