General Information

Some useful information regarding African Volcano sauces and marinades

The peri peri style sauce or marinade might split (or separate) – as it is wont to do. A vigorous shake of the bottle will allow emulsification again. You can also “extend” the volume of the peri peri sauce and marinade by adding extra sunflower oil or olive oil, to create a “thinner” version.

The bottles are recyclable (once the sauce is finished, you can wash thoroughly and heat-sterilize before decanting your own home-made flavoured oils etc.) and the square olive oil bottles allow far more packing and stacking options in your kitchen cupboards than round bottles, which might take up a greater area, due to their shape.
