EST. 1992 — TURFFONTEINFrom our family restaurant to a sauce empire
It began at the tables of Calisto’s Portuguese restaurant in Turffontein. The sauces people came back for became the bottles on your shelf — still made from Jorge Calisto’s original recipes and real ingredients.
The original Calisto’s opens in Turffontein, where Jorge starts crafting his own peri-peri sauces, spices and marinades.
The brand goes big. Calisto’s is franchised and The Sauce Kitchen is born to bottle the famous recipes.
A house becomes a sauce facility — dedicated entirely to peri-peri production.
50+ sauces and spices on shelves across South Africa — and delivered nationwide when you buy peri-peri sauce online.
Jorge’s signature peri-peri — a bold, fiery blend — drew hot sauce lovers from across Gauteng, and the restaurant grew into a culinary destination known for real taste and real tradition. To keep every bottle true as the brand expanded, The Sauce Kitchen was born: first bottling the famous recipes for each new location, then growing into the full-scale family facility that today sends over 50 sauces and spices to retailers across South Africa and beyond. The belief behind it all hasn’t changed since 1992 — great food brings people together.
“I love Calisto’s Portuguese Sauce! It’s so fresh and has this perfect mix of chilli and garlic that gives it just the right amount of kick. I’ve been putting it on everything lately — definitely one of my favourites!”
