“ 5,000 Years of Peruvian Flavors”
Coast, Highlands, and Jungle in a Bottle
Chili peppers have been the soul of Peru for millennia, symbolizing identity and tradition. Their domestication dates back over 5,000 years, with traces found in ancient civilizations like Caral.
Inka Fuego® honors this legacy by blending three iconic chili peppers from Peru’s diverse regions:
Inka Fuego, “5000 años de Sabores Peruanos,” reúne los tres ajíes más emblemáticos de cada región: el ají Limo de la costa, el Rocoto andino y el ají Charapita de la selva.
Ají Limo, The vibrant and aromatic jewel of the coast, essential in ceviche and seafood dishes.
Rocoto, The Andes’ ancient, fiery chili, with deep heat and juicy flesh, a staple in traditional cuisine.
Ají Charapita – Amazon’s golden treasure, tiny yet intense, prized for its unique fruity notes.
Every drop of Inka Fuego® is a tribute to Peru’s culinary heritage, a journey through its regions, and an invitation to taste the fire of its culture.
