The rocoto is one of the richest and most used peppers in the gastronomy of Peru. It looks similar to the red pepper, only it is smaller. It is well known for its great taste and spice. It has excellent nutritional and medicinal benefits.
The aji rocoto paste is an excellent complement that enhances the flavours of different soups and broths. It is used as a hot sauce but does not change the taste of the meals.
