About This Blend

Cuba is comprised of diverse cultural influences including Spanish, Portuguese, French, West African, and Asian. In creating a seasoning to represent this melting pot, we married two critical flavoring elements of Cuban cuisine: adobo and sofrito. The result is a bright and wonderful seasoning unlike anything else we have created.

More Information

Traditionally made with fresh ingredients, the base seasoning for sofrito is an aromatic trio of chile peppers, onion, and garlic with tomato, cilantro, and parsley completing the sauce. Perfecting a dry sofrito seasoning was the first order of business and finding the ideal balance between adobo and sofrito flavors was the final step.
