Martha Stewart Discovers What Sickles Market's Customers Already Knew - Mazi Piri Piri Sauce is a Winner

LITTLE SILVER, N.J., Jan. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Martha Stewart's Whole Living magazine spotlights Mazi Piri Piri Sauce and Sickles Market in its January 2012 issue, just as Saveur magazine did in May 2011.  The national attention comes as no surprise to Sickles Market's customers, who discovered the small-batch, Portuguese-style condiment's saucy qualities long before either national magazine hit the newsstands. Sickles Market, which is listed as the single site for buying Mazi Piri Piri in both magazines, has featured the unique hot sauce on its shelves for several years, as well as offering it on its online store at shop.sicklesmarket.com.

Bob Sickles, third-generation owner of the century-old business, discovered Mazi's Piri Piri Sauce when Peter Mantas and Leslie Feingold – who produce the sauce in Asbury Park – hand-delivered the sauce directly to Bob Sickles. 
 

"Although we support local products, they must be more than local to be on our shelves. Above all else, they must meet our standard of quality," Bob said. "Piri Piri is very special. It is the perfect balance of fire and flavor," he said.

The market itself is a very special story. Located on property that has been in the Sickles family since 1663, the business has evolved from a seasonal farmstand to a year-round market in 1998 and was the 2011 winner of "New Jersey Family Business Award" by Rothman Institute and voted "Outstanding Specialty Food Retailer 2007" by National Association Specialty Food Trade.

Today, culinary explorers from around the world turn to Sickles' online shop – shop.sicklesmarket.com – to enjoy special selections personally picked by Bob and his staff.

Sickles Market – sharing quality since 1908, is a third generation family-owned market and a trusted source for well-edited quality selections of produce, baked goods, gourmet grocery items, meats, hand cut-to-order artisanal cheeses, prepared foods, cut flowers, a garden center and nursery, and a gift department, online shop. In addition, Sickles "On the Road Tours" conducts day trips and travel programs to exceptional culinary and horticultural destinations in the U.S. and abroad. www.sicklesmarket.com
