El señor de los condimentos<br />

The chili pepper is the soul of Peruvian cuisine.<br />

With more than fifty varieties, the chili pepper is<br />

the flavouring for dozens of dishes from the coast,<br />

highlands and rainforest, and has always been the<br />

principal gastronomic ingredient for the different<br />

cultures that have populated Peru. Originating on<br />

the Andean plateau, the chili pepper was rapidly<br />

accepted in the country's different regions and, after<br />

the Spanish conquest it was taken to Central America,<br />

Europe, Asia and Oceania.<br />

El ají es el alma de la comida peruana. Con más de<br />

cincuenta variedades, el ají es la fuente de sabor de<br />

decenas de platos en la Costa, Sierra y Selva, y ha sido<br />

desde siempre el principal protagonista gastronómico de<br />

las culturas que poblaron el territorio nacional. Original<br />

del altiplano, el ají fue rápidamente asimilado en todas las<br />

regiones del país y, después de la conquista española, fue<br />

trasladado a Centroamérica, Europa, Asia y Oceanía.<br />
