One of Peru’s most iconic dishes is ceviche, a feast for the senses that reflects the freshness and diversity of the country’s marine bounty. What sets Peruvian ceviche apart from others around the world is the quality of the ingredients and the unique touch in its preparation. Fresh fish, marinated in lime juice and combined with chili peppers, red onions, and cilantro, creates a blend of flavors that not only excites the palate but also embodies Peruvian culture and tradition in every bite.
What truly makes Peruvian ceviche special is the “tiradito,” a variation featuring thinly sliced fish and a spicy sauce that elevates the experience to another level. Additionally, each region of the country has its own version of ceviche, with flavors that vary depending on the availability of local ingredients.
