Nali Sauce is a popular sauce from Malawi dubbed, "'Africa's hottest peri-peri sauce'. It is one of Malawi's most popular sauces.[1] The Nali sauce brands have attained cult status with chilli lovers both in Malawi and throughout the world for their hotness and taste.[2] The heat level of Nali sauce is approximately 175.000 scoville heat units[3]

Nali is made from peri-peri sauce derived from Malawian bird's eye chillies, which are considered the hottest in Africa. They have been produced by Nali ltd since the 1970s. There are currently 7 different flavors of Nali Sauces: Mild, Hot, Gold, Garlic, Ginger, Curry Masala and BBQ.[2] The label on each bottle comes with a warning in both English and Chichewa that reads, "Abale Samalani", which means Friends, take care.[4]

Nali has a strong presence in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique and South Africa.[5][6]
