the best range of sauces and dips I’ve tried
aged chilli, supercharged, and now the creamy dips in hot and x-hot
minnies make the best sauces n dips.
bursting with flavour, a must in every home
To say that I love the Lava Sauce would be an understatement, as I use it exclusively now. Please keep on setting us on fire (in the nicest possible way, of course) …
All their sauces, I have had each one of them and still have a backup stash in my cupboards lol. The sauces have amazing flavour and also texture to it which I love… With home-cooked meals or braais it’s Amazing to Enjoy…. ?
I was recently in Ballito on holiday, and I purchased a bottle of your Mozambican Hot Peri-peri Sauce. It is one of the best sauces I’ve ever had the privilege of trying.
I love hot sauces but I also love full flavours and yours had both …
Any chance you could make bigger bottles? I go through a bottle of Minnies Prego Sauce every few days …
We enjoyed your hot tikka sauce when we were in South Africa last month. We would like to order some if we could. Can you ship to a home residence in the United States?
I personally love the Mozambican Peri Peri and the Prego Sauce. A bottle NEVER lasts long in my fridge with my family. Really delicious and compliments any dish we make from Pasta to slap chips!
