Ají Amarillo: The Golden Secret of Peruvian Cuisine
The Ají Amarillo (Capsicum baccatum) is the star pepper of Peru and a pillar of its ancient gastronomy. Its name literally means "yellow chili," and it is the ingredient that provides the unmistakable color and flavor to countless Andean and coastal dishes.
Intensity and Classification
Ají Amarillo has a heat level classified as "Hot", offering a more intense kick than the Jalapeño but milder than the Habaneros. Its pungency typically ranges between 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Units (SHU). The heat is clean and pleasant, allowing its unparalleled fruity flavor to shine.
Aroma, Shape, and Cooking
This pepper is famous for its complex, fruity, and slightly sweet flavor, with notes of passion fruit and mango. The fruit is elongated and turns vibrant orange when ripe. It is indispensable for classic Peruvian dishes like Ají de Gallina, Papa a la Huancaína, and various ceviches.
Versatility and Legacy
Ají Amarillo is one of the oldest peppers cultivated in Peru, with roots in the Inca civilization. Its thick pulp makes it perfect for creamy sauces, condiments, and meat stews. Ideal for those seeking a heat level above Jalapeño combined with a unique aromatic profile.
