The spicy sauces from Madeiran Queima Beiças will represent Portugal at Berlin Chili Fest

Público31 August 2026 at 13:46

The spicy sauces from Queima Beiças, a craft company from Madeira, will represent Portugal at Berlin Chili Fest, one of the largest international events dedicated to spicy sauces. This participation marks the debut of a Portuguese producer at this festival held in the German capital.

Queima Beiças was founded by Francisco Silva, who during his career went through the fast-paced world of haute cuisine. The experience gained in this sector allowed him to develop culinary skills that would later be applied in the creation of his artisanal sauces.

Francisco Silva realized that the sauces he prepared for friends and family had enough quality to become a business. So, he decided to turn that personal passion into a commercial activity, creating a spicy sauce brand with its own identity.

Berlin Chili Fest brings together producers from all over the world specialized in spicy sauces annually, being an important showcase for companies in the sector. Queima Beiças' presence at this event represents an opportunity to showcase the flavors of Portuguese cuisine in a specialized international market.
