Escabeche
Ají Escabeche is a bright yellow-orange, thick-fleshed variety of Capsicum Baccatum. It makes up one of the Peruvian favorites trinity: Amarillo (Escabeche), Rocoto and Limó. It has mild to medium heat with a sweet fruity taste and is used mostly as the main ingredient of a wildly popular paste in Peruvian cuisine.
The flavor of Escabeche is sometimes compared to Scotch Bonnet, with less heat. It gives your products all the fruitiness, freshness, and sweetness of the Caribbean pepper but with just medium levels of spiciness.
