Inca's Food Aji Panca Paste - 10.5 oz | Mild Peruvian Pepper Paste

A Fruity, Mild Peruvian Pepper Paste for Everyday Cooking

Inca's Food Aji Panca Paste comes in a convenient 10.5 oz jar and brings the beloved Peruvian chile into your kitchen in an easy-to-use paste. Derived from the Aji Panca pepper, this product offers a gentle heat and a distinctive fruity, berry-like nuance that can elevate a wide range of dishes without dominating the other flavors you’ve worked so hard to build.

Originating from Peru, this paste is the result of sun-drying and finely grinding the pepper to concentrate its natural sweetness and earthy depth. The result is a smooth, readily blendable paste that blends into sauces, stews, and marinades with ease, helping you layer complex flavors in less time.
