Ají amarillo paste is a smooth, yellow-orange chile paste made from ají amarillo peppers. It delivers bright, fruity heat with citrusy, floral notes, and a medium burn that lingers; cooks use it to build sauces, braises, marinades, and rice dishes, or to perk up ceviche and stir-fries; commonly sold jarred or in pouches.
Originating in Peru, it anchors many Peruvian dishes from anticuchos to aji de gallina and causa. Traditional versions blend blanched or roasted chiles with salt, oil, and sometimes vinegar, and its use has spread across Andean and contemporary Latin American kitchens.
