Black Mamba Chilli

Black Mamba Chilli brings the vibrant, untamed spirit of Eswatini into every bottle of chilli sauce, pesto, chutney, and jam it crafts. Nestled in Malkerns, this proudly African enterprise is more than a condiment maker—it is a woman-led movement rooted in regenerative agriculture, Fair Trade principles, and a fierce commitment to using only fresh, organically grown ingredients. From mild, family-friendly blends to tongue-tingling cayenne and peri-peri explosions, the range turns everyday meals into daring feasts. Black Mamba’s team works in small batches, letting each ingredient’s natural character shine through without relying on artificial preservatives, fillers, or nonsense.

Visitors to the Matsapha-area facility can expect to sample award-winning hot sauces alongside chilli crunch, spicy honey, and fruit-driven jams. The brand’s story sparkles with cross-continental influences and a deep respect for the growers who nurture every chilli plant. Whether you are a heat seeker chasing the next thrill or a home cook hunting for a clean label pantry upgrade, Black Mamba Chilli delivers bold flavors that feel as good as they taste.

Signature Chilli Sauces & Heat Levels

The hot sauce collection forms the fiery backbone of Black Mamba’s catalog. Each recipe balances capsaicin warmth with layered flavor, so you get more than just burn. The Cayenne Hot Sauce is regularly described as Africa’s best sriracha-style pour—sweet-meets-heat magic that clings to grilled meats, eggs, and stir-fries with equal enthusiasm. For those who crave traditional South African braai credentials, the Peri-Peri Sauce brings a piquant, slightly smoky heat built from locally sourced African bird’s eye chillies.

• Cayenne Hot Sauce: vibrant red, medium heat, garlic undertones, sriracha-style versatility.
• Peri-Peri Chilli Sauce: flame-grilled aroma, citrus notes, ideal for spatchcock chicken and ribs.
• Jalapeño Hot Sauce: fresh green pepper zing, bright acidity, excellent on tacos and nachos.
• Chilli Crunch: addictive crispy chilli oil loaded with honey chilli flakes, habaneros, garlic, sunflower seeds, and crispy onion.

Craft Pestos, Chutneys & Relishes

Beyond liquid heat, Black Mamba presses local herbs and nuts into rich, spoonable pestos that defy convention. The Coriander Jalapeño Pesto balances cilantro freshness with a controlled chilli kick, making it a revelation on grilled cauliflower steaks or braai veggie sandwiches. Basil Cayenne Pesto offers a peppery twist on the Italian classic, perfect for tossing through grilled pork chops or stirring into creamy pasta. The chutney and relish lineup delivers sweet-tangy complexity that brightens cheese boards and slow-cooked roasts.

• Coriander Jalapeño Pesto: zesty, herbaceous, vegan-friendly, no artificial fillers.
• Basil Cayenne Pesto: aromatic basil meets cayenne warmth, small-batch texture.
• Chakalaka Relish: spiced vegetable medley, authentic Southern African flair.
• Beetroot & Ginger Chutney: earthy-sweet pairing, vibrant magenta hue.

Spicy Jams & Sweet Heat Preserves

Where standard fruit preserves play it safe, Black Mamba injects chilli personality. The Orange Marmalade with Peri-Peri marries tart Seville-style orange peel with a trailing warmth that transforms morning toast and braai ribs alike. Mango & Chilli Jam pours over ice cream or cream cheese with tropical abandon, while the Pineapple & Habanero Jam reconciles fruity sweetness with a bold, lingering heat. These jars double as glaze bases, dipping sauces, and conversation-starting gifts.

• Orange Marmalade & Peri-Peri: chunky cut peel, slow-release spice.
• Mango & Chilli Jam: sunshine-bright mango balanced by gentle chilli hum.
• Pineapple & Habanero Jam: tropically intense, serious habanero finish.
