Belos Sauces

Passionate About Chilli

When Malik Habib travelled to Mozambique and South Africa back in 2009, he didn’t just bring tales of adventure with him home—he also brought spices.

In 2019, 38 tonnes of raw green chillies were cultivated worldwide. And that was only the green chillies. These little fruits from the nightshade family (all cloak and dagger—more about that in another blog) pack a punch so strong everyone has heard of them and, most likely, eaten them. They weren’t always a staple around […]

Smotherings of Africa with Smoked Paprika

Smoked paprika can add a unique flavour profile to anything ranging from guacamole to meat marinades. This smoked paprika salt also has garlic and basil in it. Sprinkle over your next serving of fries, or add to your favourite Spanish or Mexican dish—that’s where this seasoning originated, even if our paprika was grown under the heat of the African sun.
