Heat level : 7 Heat level : 7It all starts with the Pepper… The Aji Chombo pepper is a type of Scotch Bonnet. Aji Chombo peppers are often confused with Habanero peppers since they look similar and both the Habanero and Scotch Bonnet belong to the same capsicum chinense species called Capsicum Chinense. The peppers start off green and ripen into a pumpkin orange or scarlet red.
Aji Chombo literally means Pepper Black, and is derived from the Antilleans who brought scotch bonnet peppers from the Caribbean Islands to cultivate in Panama. Aji Chombo is a traditional Panamanian Style hot sauce heavily influenced by the Caribbean. These hot sauces are typically vinegar based and are commonly referred to as Aji Chombo or Chombo Picante. You will find Aji Chombo on most restaurant tables in Panama, particularly those on the Atlantic Coast where the Antillean descendants make up the majority of the population. There are many different variations as each restaurant and individual has their own special recipe.
Amarillo is our third installment of our Caribbean style hot sauces from Panama. We use select yellow scotch bonnets and tweaked our Original recipe. Slightly hotter than our Original with another great flavor!
