Boneheads sauce wins Scovie award

December 3, 2008

ATLANTA — Boneheads Grilled Fish & Piri Piri Chicken has been awarded a 2009 Scovie Award for its signature Extra Hot Piri Piri sauce in the World Beat category. This is the third consecutive Scovie nod for Boneheads.

A panel of culinary experts sampled 783 entries across multiple categories, and the top scoring products each won a Scovie.

Piri Piri Sauce in Portugal and South Africa is as varied in taste and style as barbecue sauce is in the United States. The common base for Piri Piri sauces is always lemon juice and African Birdseye Chili; after that the ingredients vary.

The Scovie Awards were created by Dave DeWitt, editor of Fiery-Foods & BBQ Magazine and founder of the National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show. The awards are named for Wilbur Scoville, who pioneered a rating scale for spicy foods.

Boneheads is operated by Atlanta-based Raving Brands.
