Aji Amarillo Chilli Mash

Aji Amarillo Chilli Mash brings the sunshine of Peru straight to your kitchen. Made from freshly ground Aji Amarillo chillies, this vibrant yellow-orange mash offers a medium heat balanced by a bright, fruity sweetness. It’s the heart of Peruvian cuisine — the distinctive taste behind dishes like ceviche, causa, and huancaína sauce.

The flavour is full and rounded, with notes of mango, passionfruit, and citrus peel, offering depth without overpowering heat. The mash’s smooth texture makes it perfect for stirring into sauces, soups, and marinades, or mixing into mayonnaise and dressings for a kick of South American warmth.

Use it anywhere you’d like to add bold colour and flavour — from grilled chicken and seafood to vegetarian stews and rice dishes. A spoonful transforms the ordinary into something unmistakably Peruvian.
