Ajika or Adjika (Georgian: აჯიკა), is a Georgian[1] spicy, subtly flavored sauce or dip from Samegrelo region.

Common varieties of ajika resemble Italian red pesto in appearance and consistency, although a dry version also exists.

Though it is usually red, green ajika is also made with unripe peppers.

In 2018, ajika was included on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia list.

[4] The word adjika comes from Abkhaz language and means "salt".
