Huacatay

Huacatay, or Peruvian black mint, is a bold, aromatic herb with a complex flavor that combines mint, basil, and tarragon with a hint of citrus. Widely used in South American cuisine, it’s a key ingredient in sauces like ocopa and marinades for meats. Its distinctive taste adds depth to stews, soups, and grilled dishes. Huacatay is perfect for chefs looking to introduce an exotic, herbaceous note to their culinary creations.
