About UKU
Uku is a Peruvian brand created with passion, it is a tribute to the ancient culture and the Peruvian chili, the essential ingredient that makes Peruvian cuisine one of the best in the world.
Our chilli pastes and sauces are made from the best Peruvian ingredients according to traditional recipes that were carefully adapted to the chef’s needs. In short, our salsas and pastes give a very subtle spicy kick, but no burning sensation.
Uku was, according to the mythology of the Andean cultures, the name of a magical and underground world associated with the harvest, and symbolised, among other things, fertility and rebirth.
For us, UKU is the taste of Peru. In collaboration with peruvian Michelin chef Jonathan Guardia, Taste of Peru ApS has developed three different chilli pastes that are both used in peruvian cuisine and the trendy japanese-peruvian Nikkei cuisine.
“UKU delivers authentic Peruvian flavor with beautifully balanced chili pastes that are rich, aromatic, and never overpowering. The taste is deep and pure, making it easy to elevate everyday dishes and recreate the essence of Peruvian cuisine at home.”
