Jamaican Jerk Marinade

Cultural Context

Originating from Jamaica, jerk seasoning is a vibrant blend of spices and herbs traditionally used for marinating meats. This technique reflects the island's rich culinary heritage, influenced by African, Taíno, and European flavors. Today, jerk marinade is celebrated globally, often used for chicken and pork, and is a staple at Caribbean barbecues.
