Goya Yellow Hot Pepper Paste Aji Amarillo 7.5 oz — 2-Pack, Fruity Heat & Baking-Friendly

Goya Yellow Hot Pepper Paste (Aji Amarillo) is a vibrant, shelf-stable 7.5 oz paste that delivers fruity heat and golden color to marinades, sauces, pastries, and baked goods.

Made from mashed aji amarillo chiles, this concentrated paste brings authentic Peruvian flavor without the hassle of handling fresh peppers. It blends easily into doughs, batters, glazes, and savory fillings while also standing up to sauces, stews, and dressings. Packaged in a convenient jar, the 2-pack ensures you have enough paste for experiments in the kitchen or regular use in everyday recipes.

How can Goya Aji Amarillo paste improve my baking and pastry recipes?

Use small amounts of the paste to add a subtle fruity heat and warm color to both sweet and savory baked items. It pairs especially well with brown butter, cheese-based fillings, and chocolate for complex flavor contrasts without overwhelming the final product.

• Stir 1/2 to 1 teaspoon into cookie or brownie batters for a mild pepper note
• Blend into cream cheese or ricotta fillings to brighten savory pastries
• Mix with honey or sugar syrups for glazes and finishing sauces
• Add to cornbread or savory scones for color and gentle heat

What makes this paste different from fresh peppers or other chiles?

The paste concentrates the aji amarillo’s fruity, citrusy character while offering longer shelf life and easier dosing than fresh chiles. It keeps its color and flavor when cooked, so you can rely on consistent results whether you're simmering a sauce or baking at high temperatures.

• Stable texture that blends smoothly into liquids and doughs
• Predictable potency for accurate recipe scaling
• Less preparation time—no deseeding, roasting, or peeling required
• Longer fridge life once opened compared with fresh peppers

How should I use and store the 7.5 oz jars for best results?

Store unopened jars in a cool, dry pantry; refrigerate after opening to preserve flavor and color. Use a clean utensil to scoop paste and seal jars tightly to prevent oxidation.

• Refrigerate after opening; use within recommended timeframe on the label
• Keep away from direct sunlight to maintain vibrant color
• Freeze small portions in an ice cube tray for long-term storage
• Label freezer portions with date and amount for easy portioning

Which dishes pair best with Goya yellow hot pepper paste?

The paste works well in Latin American and global kitchens—think marinades, stews, empanada fillings, pasta sauces, and finishing condiments. Its fruity heat complements seafood, poultry, roasted vegetables, and creamy elements like yogurt or avocado.
