From a South African backyard to your Australian table
The story of STOKE
It started with a braai.
In South Africa, the braai is not just a way of cooking. It is a ritual. A gathering. It is where families come together, where stories are shared, where the fire does its slow, patient work on the meat.
And at the centre of every braai, there is peri-peri. The sauce that brings the heat, the smoke, the flavour. It was at one of these braais, surrounded by family and friends, that the original STOKE recipe was born.
A homemade recipe, made from scratch, with real fire-roasted capsicum, roasted garlic, and bird's eye chilli. No preservatives. No artificial flavours. Just honest, bold, smoky perfection.


Made from scratch. Every time.
When we brought STOKE to Australia, we made a promise. The same promise that was made at that first braai in South Africa. Make it from scratch. Use real ingredients. No shortcuts.
Every bottle of STOKE is made in small batches with fire-roasted capsicum, roasted garlic, pickled chilli, lemon, and smoked paprika. We taste every batch. We stand behind every bottle.
"We did not set out to start a sauce company. We set out to share something we loved."
STOKE — GHZAAL PTY LTD
For every table in Australia.
Our goal is simple. To bring the flavour of South African braai culture to every Australian table. From the family dinner to the Saturday BBQ. From the quick weeknight meal to the celebration with friends.
And with every bottle sold, we donate one clean bottle of water to those who need it most. Because great food should come with a great purpose. That is the STOKE way.
