Aji Amarillo

The cornerstone of Peruvian cooking, and the right jar when you want mild warmth, an intense golden yellow and a genuinely fruity profile. Fermented from fresh South American Aji Amarillo, salt and acetic acid, the crush deepens as it matures. Aji Amarillo sits apart from the more familiar chilies: its aroma reads as tropical fruit, mango and passionfruit, and gives a dish a character nothing else quite matches. At around 15,000 SHU it delivers clear chili flavour without the extreme burn, which makes it easy to reach for.

Fruity and fresh, it is a concentrated base for your own sauces and salsas. Its tropical side is unbeaten with fish, shellfish and fruit or citrus dips. It is just as at home in risottos, vegetable dishes, Latin American plates and marinades for poultry and pork. Anywhere you want gentle chili warmth with a light fruit note.

Ingredients: Aji Amarillo chili (82%), salt, acidity regulator (acetic acid).
