Goya Aji Panca Pepper Paste 212.6g | Authentic Peruvian Red Chilli Paste

Goya Aji Panca Pepper Paste is made from authentic Peruvian Aji Panca chillies, one of the most important ingredients in traditional Peruvian cuisine. Known for its deep red colour, mild heat and rich smoky flavour, Aji Panca is prized by chefs and home cooks for the depth and complexity it adds to food.

Unlike many chilli pastes that focus primarily on heat, Aji Panca is valued for its subtle sweetness, smoky character and gentle warmth. It delivers rich flavour without overwhelming spice, making it an essential ingredient for marinades, stews, sauces, grilled meats and countless Peruvian recipes.

Aji Panca is often considered the perfect complement to Aji Amarillo. While Aji Amarillo provides fruity brightness and medium heat, Aji Panca contributes deeper smoky notes and rich savoury character.

Whether you're recreating authentic Peruvian dishes or simply looking for a new way to add complexity to your cooking, Goya Aji Panca Pepper Paste is a versatile pantry staple that brings genuine South American flavour to your kitchen.
