hot-sauce Maçarico Piri-Piri Sauce

I was excited to find this, in a middle-eastern (!) supermarket here in Melbourne, but ultimately disappointed.

The ingredients are listed as "capsicums, water, salt, vegetable oil, spices, acidity regulator, preservative and thickener," and it's made by the Maçarico company in Praia de Mira, Portugal.

It has a nice dark orange/red colour and is quite thick.

It is not particularly hot and is unusually salty to my taste, for a commercial chilli sauce. Not especially reminiscent of piri-piri either, and I wonder how much actual piri-piri pepper goes into it, and what those "spices" are.

Pretty bottle, though.
