The Consulate General of Peru in the U.S. city of Paterson, New Jersey, organized a reception to celebrate the inscription of the "Practices and meanings associated with the preparation and consumption of Ceviche, an expression of Peruvian traditional cuisine" on UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The event —held at the "MC Hotel" in Montclair on April 24— had the objective of disseminating and highlighting the Ceviche culinary system.

Peru's Consul General, Ambassador Patricia Raez, presided over the reception and expressed pride due to the recognition granted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

"This achievement highlights the exceptional value of the Ceviche culinary system, as well as the traditional knowledge and processes associated with its preparation," she noted.

The diplomat highlighted Peru's international commitment to safeguarding practices and processes linked to the flagship dish, with policies that guarantee its viability and sustainability.

During the event, attendees watched a video that explored the rich history and culinary tradition of Ceviche, enjoying the freshness and unique flavors of this emblematic Peruvian dish.

The activity brought together nearly 100 guests, including local authorities, community members, and diplomatic corps representatives.

Notable attendees included Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh; Vice Mayor Maria del Pilar Rivas; Newark Vice Mayor Ligia de Freitas; Panama's Consul to New Jersey and New York, Elias Levy; and El Salvador's Consul to New Jersey, Ariel Valle
