McCormick Aji Amarillo Seasoning 24oz 680g
Aji Amarillo Seasoning is a bright, tropical spice blend inspired by the famous Peruvian chile pepper of the same name. Despite translating to “yellow chile,” the ripe pepper turns deep orange and carries fruity notes reminiscent of mango and passion fruit, balanced by a warm, approachable heat.
This seasoning captures that flavor and layers it with garlic, onion, light sweetness, and a touch of oak smoke for depth. The result is a sweet-spicy blend that adds color and complexity without overwhelming a dish. It’s bold enough for grilling yet balanced enough for sauces, seafood, and lighter fare.
Use Aji Amarillo Seasoning on shrimp, scallops, chicken, or roasted vegetables. It works beautifully in ceviche, mixed into mayonnaise or yogurt sauces, or sprinkled onto fries and grilled corn. The tropical citrusy notes also pair surprisingly well with cocktails and fruit-forward dishes.
A staple flavor in Peruvian cuisine and increasingly popular worldwide, Aji Amarillo brings modern global flavor into everyday cooking. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.
Ingredients: Garlic, Sea Salt, Onion, Chile Pepper Aji Amarillo, Demerara Sugar, Herbs and Spices (Including Parsley, Paprika, Turmeric), Tomato Powder, Mango Powder, Citric Acid, Natural Flavor (Including Oak Smoke) & Extractives Of Capsicum.
