Description

Experience the true taste of Jamaica with Walkerswood Traditional Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (Hot & Spicy). Recognized globally as the gold standard for authentic jerk flavor, this wet paste is produced in the hills of St. Ann, Jamaica, using homegrown ingredients. The recipe blends fiery Scotch bonnet peppers with fragrant crushed pimento berries (allspice), fresh scallions, thyme, black pepper, and garlic. The coarse, paste-like texture clings firmly to meats and plant-based alternatives, locking in moisture and infusing deep, aromatic heat throughout the cooking process.
