CHATICA AJI AMARILLO PASTE - THE ESSENTIAL PERUVIAN INGREDIENT

Available in 228g and 425g

Aji Amarillo is the backbone of Peruvian cuisine. Bright, fruity, and moderately hot at 30,000-50,000 SHU, this yellow chilli paste is irreplaceable in authentic Latin American cooking - and increasingly sought after by UK chefs pushing beyond European flavour profiles.

What it is: A smooth, ready-to-use paste made from whole aji amarillo peppers grown in Peru. Vibrant orange-yellow in colour, with a distinctly fruity, mango-like heat that sets it apart from any European chilli paste.

Allergens: None. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Ingredients: Yellow hot pepper, salt, citric acid, potassium sorbate.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 7 days.

How UK chefs are using Chatica Aji Amarillo Paste:

• Ceviche and tiradito - the defining flavour of Peruvian seafood dishes; a spoonful adds fruity heat and a beautiful golden colour to the leche de tigre marinade
• Aji de Gallina - the classic creamy Peruvian chicken stew that is appearing on London menus from Fitzrovia to Shoreditch
• Papas a la Huancaina - spiced cheese sauce over potatoes, a standout sharing plate or side dish
• Marinades and glazes - blended with oil and garlic for chicken, lamb, and seafood before roasting or grilling
• Sauces and dressings - stirred into mayonnaise, sour cream, or vinaigrettes for a vibrant, spiced condiment
• Empanadas and street food fillings - adds depth and heat to meat and vegetable fillings

Why order Chatica over other brands? Chatica Aji Amarillo Paste is the only UK-exclusive aji amarillo paste available at trade prices with next-day delivery. Competitors stock it sporadically. We stock it consistently, in both 228g and 425g formats, with case quantities available for high-volume kitchens.

CHATICA DULCE DE LECHE - COLOMBIA'S FINEST CARAMEL, READY FOR YOUR MENU

Available in 250g and 450g

Dulce de Leche - literally "milk candy" in Spanish - is one of the most versatile ingredients in the Latin American pantry, and one of the most in-demand by UK pastry chefs and dessert specialists right now.

Made by slowly heating sweetened milk until the Maillard reaction transforms it into a deep, golden caramel with a perfectly smooth, spreadable texture, Chatica Dulce de Leche brings genuine Colombian provenance to your dessert menu.

What it is: A rich, creamy caramel spread with a deep, indulgent flavour. Thicker and more complex than standard caramel sauce, with a slow-cooked depth that customers notice immediately.

Allergens: Contains milk.

Storage: Store at room temperature in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 30 days.

How UK pastry chefs and caterers are using Chatica Dulce de Leche:

• Churros dipping sauce - the classic pairing; serve warm alongside fresh churros for an authentic Latin dessert experience
• Cheesecake filling and topping - swirled into the base or drizzled over the top for a caramel cheesecake with genuine depth
• Artisan chocolates and confectionery - used as a filling for truffles, bonbons, and pralines by London chocolatiers
• Ice cream and gelato - rippled through vanilla or chocolate bases, or used as a sundae topping
• Cakes and sponges - layered into Victoria sponges, Swiss rolls, and celebration cakes as an alternative to jam or buttercream
• Pancakes and waffles - drizzled over for a breakfast and brunch menu item with a Latin twist
• Alfajores - the traditional South American shortbread sandwich biscuit that is growing in popularity across UK bakeries and cafes

Why order Chatica over other brands? Most UK suppliers stock dulce de leche from Argentine brands in large catering tins. Chatica offers Colombian-sourced dulce de leche in both 250g and 450g formats - ideal for smaller kitchens, artisan producers, and retail-ready portion sizes. Available exclusively through Casa de Jack.

CHATICA YUCA (CASSAVA) - THE GLUTEN-FREE ALTERNATIVE UK KITCHENS ARE TURNING TO

Available as Cassava Starch (Almidon de Yuca) 12.5kg and Cassava Yuca Chips 1kg

Yuca - also known as cassava - is one of the most versatile and underutilised ingredients in the UK catering sector. Naturally gluten-free, starchy, and with a mild, slightly nutty flavour once cooked, it is the Latin American answer to the potato - and it is finding its way onto menus across the UK as chefs respond to growing demand for gluten-free and allergen-conscious alternatives.

What it is: A starchy tropical root vegetable, native to South America and widely used across Colombian and Peruvian cuisine. Once cooked, yuca becomes soft and fluffy with a denser, more satisfying texture than potato - making it ideal for frying, boiling, mashing, and baking.

Allergens: None. Naturally gluten-free, suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

How UK restaurants and caterers are using Chatica Yuca:

• Yuca fries - a growing alternative to standard chips on restaurant menus; crispier on the outside, fluffier inside, and naturally gluten-free. Increasingly popular in Latin American, Caribbean, and fusion restaurants across London
• Boiled yuca with mojo sauce - a traditional Colombian side dish that pairs with grilled meats and fish; simple to prepare in bulk for catering operations
• Yuca mash - a denser, more flavourful alternative to mashed potato; works as a base for stews, braises, and slow-cooked meats
• Cassava starch for baking - Chatica Almidon de Yuca (cassava starch) is used by gluten-free bakeries across the UK for bread, pastry, and flatbreads; a reliable, high-quality starch with consistent performance
• Yuca chips as a snack - Chatica Cassava Yuca Chips (1kg) are a healthier, gluten-free alternative to standard crisps; suitable for retail, hospitality snack menus, and food service

Why order Chatica over other brands? Chatica offers cassava in multiple formats - starch for baking and thickening, and chips for snacking and catering - all available in trade quantities through Casa de Jack. No other UK supplier offers the full Chatica cassava range under one trade account.
