Jerk Seasoning

A bold and aromatic blend rooted in Caribbean tradition, this jerk seasoning combines warm spices, herbs, and a touch of heat to create a deeply flavorful rub or marinade. It’s ideal for chicken, pork, or vegetables, and delivers a balanced complexity without overpowering. Whether used dry or blended with citrus and oil, it brings vibrant character to everyday cooking.
