Mama Tina's Rocoto Paste

Authentic Rocoto Paste from Peru

Of the three most popular Peruvian chili peppers, rocoto is the hottest. At first glance, rocotos look very similar to red bell peppers. However, they contain tiny black seeds and a fiery flavor. Peruvian cooks use fresh rocoto in ceviches and other authentic Peruvian dishes, along with dipping sauces, which Peruvians refer to simply as "aji" (a-hee.) Rocoto is a must-have ingredient for cooks who love spicy food. This all natural paste contains no artificial preservatives and is an excellent substitute for fresh rocoto. 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.
