Zocalo Peru Organic Aji Amarillo Chili Paste, 8 Ounce

Love this chili paste!!!

We had this spice in Peru & loved it. Found this online & bought it. It’s exactly what I remember from Peru. We add it to Alfredo sauce, season taco meat with it & add it to sour cream or ranch dressing to make sauces with it. It’s pretty versatile & we love it

This stuff has held up very well for me. I’ve been able to make pollo a la brasa several times with it.

I do not recommend this product. It has been water down. It’s not a paste. It’s watery product that has lost the real taste of ají amarillo. I am from Peru. Where the product comes from. I know how is supposed to taste.

The first brand of Aji Amarillo paste I tried was high in sodium, so I was very happy to find this one, which has no salt at all. The flavor is very good, but I also learned that this reduces the shelf life somewhat. Keep in the coldest part of your refrigerator to prevent spoilage.

I found this when I was learning how to make Lomo Saltado and we love it. It's not as hot as I was expecting, but has a really wonderful taste. Highly recommend

This product met my expectations completely. I wanted to try a Peruvian recipe that called for this ingredient and I wasn't sure if I could find it in any of my local markets. The flavor is very distinctive-it is unlike any other pepper product I have tasted (and I am a chili-head). The recipe turned out to be delicious and my family really enjoyed it. Now I will add this ingredient to some other dishes to provide a subtle, background heat.

The flavor and consistency is excellent, although it is very expensive for the smaller jar.
