Kusi Foods Makes Its Specialty Food Association Debut — Bringing Authentic Peruvian Flavor to the U.S.

Miami, FL — December 2025 — Kusi Foods, the Peruvian‑inspired sauce brand rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, and bold culinary identity, is proud to announce its first appearance at the Winter Fancy Food Show, taking place January 11–13, 2026, at the San Diego Convention Center.

Born from a longing for home, founder Sergio Ratti created Kusi Foods to share the flavors he grew up with in Peru—flavors defined by memory, connection, and authenticity. Every Kusi sauce is crafted in Peru using traditional ingredients like ají amarillo, ají charapita, limo chili, and red bell pepper, blended with modern creativity to reintroduce the world to the richness of Andean food culture.

About Kusi Foods

Kusi means joy in Quechua—and that spirit defines everything the company creates. From sourcing to craft, each bottle is designed to bring the warmth, vibrancy, and pride of Peruvian cooking to tables across the world. Kusi Foods partners with emerging Peruvian culinary talent and bottles their creations for a global audience, representing a new wave of Andean flavor innovation.

In addition to its three signature sauces, Kusi Foods will expand its lineup with the launch of its fourth SKU, Jungle Dance, in Q4 2026. Inspired by the biodiverse jungle regions of Peru, Jungle Dance will blend flavors and ingredients native to the Peruvian Amazon with culinary elements that celebrate the region’s vibrant ecosystems—introducing a bold new expression of Peruvian cuisine to U.S. consumers.

Kusi Foods is also excited to announce its retail expansion into Texas through United Market Street—part of The United Family grocery chain. This partnership marks Kusi Foods’ first major regional retail rollout, bringing its authentic Peruvian sauces to shoppers seeking globally inspired, clean‑label, high‑quality flavor experiences.
