## Overview

Inca's Food Aji Panca Paste is a 7.5 oz jar of authentic Peruvian chile paste made from sun-dried Aji Panca peppers. Known for its mild heat and fruity, berry-like flavor, this paste adds a smoky depth to stews, sauces, and fish dishes. Highly rated and a top seller in chile pastes, it’s a must-have for adventurous cooks seeking genuine Peruvian taste.

## Description

This paste is made from one of the most common chile peppers in Peru. Growing from 3 to 5 inches in length, the aji panca has a somewhat thick flesh that matures from a green to dark red in color. This chile is mild in heat intensity and provides a fruity, berry-like flavor that goes well in stews, sauces and fish dishes. Ají Panca or Colorado is a big, red purplish ají, which is typically sun-dried and ground before using. It's tasteful yet not very spicy, and thus used across a wide variety of dishes. Served as a condiment, it is also known as Ají Especial. It has a wonderful sun dried flavor.

Review: Love it - Love this stuff. It sort of has that smoky chipotle taste without the sweetness and about the same heat but maybe a little less. While its good i prefer the yellow one aji amillrio which is a total different taste profile with it being way hotter and having a fresh garden pepper taste

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this gluten free**
A: Nothing on the label suggests it wouldn’t be.

**Q: Is this have a lot of heat to it?**
A: It can vary quite a bit from very hot to barely hot at all, depending on several factors such as the growing conditions, time of harvest, the way it was processed, etc.  Even the very hot ones though you can prepare the Peruvian way which is to saute the panca pepper puree en a few table spoons of oil over a medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the oil separates from the reduced pepper puree which will become a bit clumpy and much more dry.  That processes out nearly all of the "hotness" of the pepper but preserves the flavor. Same goes for the other variety of Peruvian hot peppers.

**Q: Which of these inca’s pastes would be best for a “tex-mex” flavor? I have a recipe that calls for a “tex mex paste”.**
A: In order to get Tex-Mex flavor in a dish , jalapeño, tomato, onion,garlic, cilantro and lime would be the the main ingredients to obtain that distinctive taste. The Inca paste is for Peruvian dishes. Bon appetite!

**Q: It is spicy???**
A: If you mean is it hot, yes. If you mean does it include an array of diced, no. This paste is made from Peruvian peppers. It is not "breathtaking" in it's heat, but a staple of the national cuisine.

Who knew Peru made some of the best pepper sauce!!!! This sauce is epic!!! It is not hot so anyone can enjoy it. It has a great flavor with not too much sauce and for those of you who like a pure fresh pepper taste, this sauce has it!!!! I just tried it yesterday with my pizza and was shocked it was so good!!! If you know a dish that can use a little pepper spice put on it this sauce would be perfect.
