This is one of those ingredients my Peruvian customers won’t cook without. Huacatay has a bold, herbal flavor that’s hard to describe until you taste it. One spoonful, and it instantly brings dishes back to how they’re meant to taste.

I’ve had customers tell me, “Without huacatay, it’s just not the same.” That’s why I always keep this on the shelf—it’s a must for real Peruvian cooking.

• Inca’s Food Huacatay (340g) — A traditional Peruvian black mint paste known for its deep, slightly earthy, and herbal flavor.
• Essential for classic recipes — My customers use this for sauces, marinades, and dishes like pollo a la brasa or ocopa. It’s the flavor base.
• Strong, unique taste — A little goes a long way. It adds depth and character you won’t get from any other herb.
• Easy to use — Already prepared as a paste, so you can add it directly into your cooking without extra steps.
• Inca’s Food brand — A trusted name my customers rely on for authentic Peruvian ingredients.

This item is shelf-stable and ships any day, making it easy to keep ready in your pantry.
If you’re picking this up, add some ají amarillo or aji panca—you’ll have the foundation for a real Peruvian sauce.
