Who We Are

InterContinental Foods is a small family run business which started in 2010. After realising that there just wasn’t anything on the market that hit the spot like our marinade did and friends always asking for our homemade sauce, The Portuguese Marinade was born.

With a passion for delivering the finest flavours, we are dedicated to sourcing the highest quality ingredients and crafting sauces that capture the essence of Portuguese cuisine. Whether you're a food enthusiast or a restaurant owner, our sauces are the perfect addition to elevate your dishes.

How to use it

Three steps to a better braai

01

Soak it properly

Use a container big enough for the meat to sit fully covered. Overnight in the fridge is ideal; four hours will still do the job.

02

Grill and keep basting

Cook over medium coals and brush on more sauce every few minutes so the sugars caramelise instead of burning.

03

Let it rest

Give the meat at least 15 minutes off the heat before carving so the juices settle back through it.
