Mama Tina's Huacatay Paste

Authentic Black Mint Paste from Peru

Huacatay (wah-kah-tie) is an Andean herb. It is also referred to as black mint. It grows in the mountains of Peru, and is ground into a paste to add flavor to many Andean dishes. This all natural paste contains no artificial preservatives. See our Recipes for ideas.

Our products include Aji Amarillo, Aji Panca, and Rocoto, which are essentials for Peruvian cooking, along with a variety of Peruvian herbs and spices including Huacatay, Albahaca and Ajos Molido pastes. We also offer Peruvian grains, beans, flour and garnishes. Our commitment to quality and keeping our products all natural sets us apart from the rest, and makes Mama Tina's the #1 choice for Peruvian ingredients.
