Restocking your favorite Peruvian products
Ají Amarillo Paste
If you’re craving Ají de Gallina, you need this paste! It is made from the vibrant yellow ají chili peppers and gives a fruity, medium-hot flavor that adds depth and complexity to a variety of dishes.
Ají Panca Paste
Derived from dried red ají panca peppers, this paste gives a mild, smoky, and slightly sweet flavor to many traditional dishes. This is great to use if you’re making Arroz con Pollo.
Coffee
Peruvian coffee is often grown in high-altitude regions, resulting in beans that produce a well-balanced, flavorful cup with subtle hints of fruit and chocolate. Enjoy!
Maras Salt
Harvested from the ancient salt pans in the Sacred Valley, Maras Salt is valued for its rich mineral content and unique flavor and adds a distinct touch to any dish you create.
Chocolate
Peruvian chocolate, celebrated for its exceptional quality and diverse flavor profiles, is crafted from native cacao beans that thrive in unique climatic conditions, offering a rich and nuanced taste.
Awamaki Textiles
Awamaki is a community-driven social enterprise grounded in fair trade principles and works in deep collaboration with Quechua artisans. Each of the handcrafted products are thoughtfully made in small batches.
Mosqoy Textiles
Mosqoy works with Quechua weavers to keep their art and culture alive through authentic hand-woven textiles. This textile tradition is a cultural cornerstone but at risk of disappearance due to synthetic machine-made replicas.
Maíz Chullpi
If you’re making ceviche, don’t forget to add some maíz chullpi! The crunchy Peruvian corn is cherished for its large kernels and toasty flavor. Try it at your next movie night instead of popcorn, or with a cold beer.
