Ají Amarillo & Ají Panca

Chili peppers are essential in many Peruvian dishes.

Ají amarillo has a fruity, aromatic flavour with a pleasant spiciness and is used in well-known dishes such as ají de gallina, causa rellena, papa a la huancaína and various ceviche sauces.

Ají panca is darker and milder, with a deep, slightly smoky flavour. The paste is widely used for marinades, stews and meat dishes such as anticuchos.

With ready-made ají pastes, you can easily stock up on the right base for authentic Peruvian recipes.

Achiote and other flavour enhancers

Achiote is also used to give dishes colour and a distinctive, earthy flavour. It pairs well with marinades, meat, chicken and various rice and stew dishes.

Together with ají amarillo and ají panca, it forms an excellent base for anyone who wants to discover the different flavour profiles of Peruvian cuisine at home.
