Panca Chilli
Panca (Ají Panca) is a burgundy coloured chilli about 7-12cm long. It is the second most common pepper in Peru (after its close relative Ají Amarillo), and is grown near the coast. Similar in shape to the Ají Amarillo, it is less spicy and has a bright berry-like, fruity and slightly smoky flavor with a mild heat. It can mostly be found dried as a chilli pepper, flakes or ground.

Excellent high quality spices for a fair price
Interesting ground chilli, more top-end heat in a chocolate pudding than I was expecting but still enjoyable.
We received a gift of a three month 'Date Night' subscription to The Spicery. It has been fantastic. The meals we produced using the spices have been delicious. The recipes are not that easy to follow but we managed! We have recommended The Spicery to a friend and will be buying a subscription as a gift for another friend in the future.
Gets the tastebuds dancing - try it and love it!
It's so easy and great choice. Prompt delivery and personal service. I would absoloutly buy for myself and send as a gift again.
I ordered a spicebox subscription as a gift and it arrived exactly when requested - a lovely surprise for my sister. Everything about ordering was very easy and straightforward. I'd definitely recommend them to others wanting to order a similar gift for others or themselves.
Quick. Simple. Really tasty. Can't wait for next month's box.
