Inca's Food Mixed Aji Paste Sampler — Aji Amarillo, Panca & Rocoto, 3 x 7.5 oz jars authentic Peruvian flavor

This mixed sampler gathers three signature Peruvian aji pastes from Inca's Food into one convenient set. Each jar delivers a distinct profile: bright and fruity heat from Aji Amarillo, deep smoky-sweet notes from Aji Panca, and fruity, assertive heat from Aji Rocoto. The trio is designed for home cooks, professional chefs, and flavor explorers who want to experiment with traditional Peruvian ingredients without committing to full-size containers.

How do these three aji pastes differ in taste and heat?

Each paste brings a unique balance of flavor and spiciness suited to different dishes. Aji Amarillo typically offers medium heat with tropical, fruity brightness; Aji Panca is milder and more savory with smoky, sweet tones; Aji Rocoto tends toward a sharper, more intense heat with a berry-like flavor. Together they cover a wide range of culinary needs.

• Aji Amarillo: medium heat, fruity citrus and mango-like notes
• Aji Panca: mild heat, smoky, raisin-like sweetness
• Aji Rocoto: higher heat, robust berry-like flavor

How can I use the sampler in everyday cooking?

These pastes are versatile and easy to incorporate: stir them into marinades, blend into sauces, or add a spoonful to soups and stews for instant depth. A little goes a long way — start small and adjust to taste. They’re also great mixed with mayo, yogurt, or oil to create quick condiments and dressings.

• Marinades for chicken, pork, or fish
• Finishing sauces for grilled vegetables and meats
• Flavoring for dressings, dips, and sandwiches
• Added to stews, rice dishes, and traditional Peruvian recipes

What should I expect for shelf life, storage, and serving size?

Each 7.5 oz jar is sized for multiple uses; typical home cooks will find one jar lasts through several meals depending on usage levels. Store unopened jars in a cool, dry place. After opening, refrigerate and use within the timeframe indicated on the label to maintain peak flavor and safety.

• Each jar: 7.5 oz (suitable for multiple recipes)
• Unopened: store in pantry away from heat and light
• Opened: refrigerate and use within label guidance

How can these pastes help me recreate authentic Peruvian dishes at home?

These three ají varieties are pillars of Peruvian cooking and provide the authentic backbone for many classic recipes. Use Aji Amarillo in causa or ají de gallina style sauces, Aji Panca for stews and anticuchos, and Aji Rocoto to add punch to ceviche-style toppings or spicy sauces. Combining them gives you flexibility to approximate traditional regional flavors with ease.

• Use Aji Amarillo for creamy, bright Peruvian sauces
