Our Story
From a family kitchen in Peru to your table – the journey of PERUAJI SAUCE
Humble Beginnings
PERUAJI SAUCE started in the vibrant kitchen of the Mendoza family in Lima, Peru. For generations, our family perfected the art of balancing heat and flavor using Peru's unique aji peppers and indigenous spices.
What began as homemade gifts for friends and family soon grew into a passion project when our sauces became the most requested item at local food fairs and markets.
Our Mission
At PERUAJI, we're on a mission to bring authentic Peruvian flavors to kitchens around the world while supporting sustainable farming practices and preserving traditional recipes.
We believe that great food brings people together, and our sauces are designed to transform everyday meals into memorable experiences.
We're committed to using only all-natural ingredients, supporting local farmers, and maintaining the authentic flavors that make Peruvian cuisine so special.
Our Process
We take pride in our traditional methods combined with modern quality control. Each batch of PERUAJI sauce is crafted with care, following recipes that have been perfected over generations.
From hand-selecting the perfect aji peppers to slow-fermenting our sauces for optimal flavor development, we never cut corners when it comes to quality.
