Condi Piri Piri Whole (Piri Piri em Vagem) 7g

Condi Piri Piri Whole (Piri Piri em Vagem) 7g is the fiery soul of Portuguese "Malagueta" culture. These small, sun-dried whole chili pods are famous for their intense heat and fruity undertones, making them a non-negotiable staple for anyone wanting to add an authentic kick to their cooking.

Product Overview

• The "Vagem" (Pod): These are whole dried "Bird's Eye" style chilies. Keeping them in their whole, dried state preserves their volatile oils and heat much longer than ground versions.
• Intense Heat: Despite their small size, these chilies pack a significant punch. They are typically used sparingly to control the spice level of a dish.
• Pure & Natural: 100% dried chilies with no added salt or preservatives. They are naturally Gluten-Free and vegan.

Key Culinary Uses

1. Homemade Piri-Piri Oil: The most popular use—drop 4–5 whole pods into a bottle of Gallo Olive Oil with a clove of garlic and a Condi Bay Leaf. Let it infuse for a week to create your own spicy table oil.
2. Gambas ao Alho (Garlic Prawns): Sauté 1 or 2 pods (crushed or whole) with garlic and olive oil before adding prawns. The heat infuses the oil, creating that classic Portuguese tavern flavor.
3. Slow-Cooked Stews: Drop a whole pod into a Nobre Dobrada or a bean stew. The slow simmer releases a mellow, creeping heat throughout the broth.
4. Bacalhau Seasoning: Crushing a pod into the olive oil used to roast codfish adds a traditional "zip" that cuts through the richness of the fish.
