Jamaican Jerk Blend (Decorative And Reusable Tin)
Jamaican Jerk Blend (Decorative And Reusable Tin)
Immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors of Jamaica with our authentic jerk seasoning blend, a tribute to the island's traditional jerk cooking. This culinary art form, native to Jamaica, transforms meats with a dynamic dry rub or a zesty wet marinade known as Jamaican jerk spice. The term "jerk" itself has a storied past, thought to originate from "charqui," a Spanish derivative of a Quechua word for dried meat, which over time evolved into "jerky" in English. Jerking also describes the method of puncturing meat to infuse it with the profound flavors of the spice mix.
Our Jamaican jerk spice rub is a celebration of this rich heritage and has captivated food enthusiasts in bustling urban centers from the United States to Canada and across Western Europe—anywhere with a taste for the Caribbean spirit.
This savory concoction includes an array of spices, a touch of sugar, and salt for balance. Paprika and red peppers lend a smoky warmth, while vinegar flavor (comprising sodium diacetate and natural flavoring) adds a subtle tang. Canola oil ensures smooth application, with garlic and onion deepening the profile. A hint of caramel color offers visual appeal, and citric acid provides a citrusy edge. To maintain its free-flowing nature, silicon dioxide is integrated as an anti-caking agent.
Presented in a charming, decorative 4 oz tin that you’ll want to keep long after the spices are gone, each tin holds roughly 60 grams (2 ounces) of our freshly blended product. While the weight may slightly vary due to the volume of the fresh ingredients, the taste remains consistently sublime, and your key to creating irresistible jerk dishes that will transport taste buds to the heart of Jamaica. Enjoy crafting delectable meals with an authentic Caribbean flare!
