How to use Cuban Spice

Combine the zest of 1 lime and 1 orange, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon Cuban Spice, 1 1/2 teaspoons Pacific Flake Sea Salt, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Marinate pork chops, chicken, or any protein for 1 hour or overnight.

Spice 101

Cuban Spice is a vibrant blend that captures the essence of Caribbean cuisine with a mix of savory and aromatic ingredients. This blend is salt-free, enhancing dishes without added sodium, and features a surprising hint of citrus that comes from orange peel, adding a fresh zest to its profile.

The origins of Cuban cuisine are a melting pot of the various cultures that have inhabited the island, including Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences. This blend reflects the historical trade routes and cultural exchanges that have shaped Cuban culinary traditions.

Cuban Spice's robust garlic and cumin base, paired with the dual punch of Mediterranean and Mexican oreganos, offers a depth of flavor that works wonders on simple meats like pork and chicken. The zesty kick of orange peel makes it exceptional for brightening up bean dishes and rice.

Unlike many other Latin American cuisines, Cuban food is not typically spicy. Instead, it relies on bright and savory flavors from garlic, citrus, and herbs.
