Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
Tuna Spice’s Jerk Seasoning captures the bold, fiery soul of Jamaican cuisine, blending heat, sweetness, and deep aromatics into one unforgettable flavor profile. Traditionally used for marinating meats, this mix imparts a distinctive smoky and spicy character to grilled dishes. The blend typically includes Scotch Bonnet peppers (or red pepper alternatives), allspice, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, black pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Optional ingredients such as nutmeg, coriander, and brown sugar enrich the recipe with layers of complexity.
Tuna Spice’s Jamaican Jerk Seasoning stays true to traditional Caribbean recipes, offering an intense and aromatic blend of heat, herbs, and natural sweetness. It can be used as a dry rub or mixed with oil and vinegar for a wet marinade, delivering bold flavor to chicken, pork, fish, and even vegetables. Special versions are available for frozen food manufacturers and industrial applications.
