Adobo Seasoning
Adobo Seasoning
Adobo Seasoning is a salt-free seasoning blend found in many Latin and Caribbean kitchens. It is generally rubbed or sprinkled on seafood and meat before grilling or frying. Adobo Seasoning is also referred to as salt-free adobo seasoning, adobo powder and adobo spice.
Adobo can be used to describe a marinade or seasoning mix. Adobo has a long and complex history. It originated both as a marinade and as a seasoning in Spain—the word adobo comes from the Spanish word adobar, “to dress” or “to prepare”. As the Spanish embarked on their age of conquest they took adobo with them, and was eventually incorporated into regional cuisines. Various versions of adobo can be found through the Caribbean, Latin America, and even the Philippines, all reflecting local preferences and ingredients. Our salt-free Adobo Seasoning has a Mexican twist with the addition of chile peppers, but it is still clearly a relative of classic Puerto Rican or Filipino adobo.
Adobo Seasoning It is a favorite of:
- seasoning companies;
- independent spice shops; and
- food manufacturers
We also have a salt-free Organic Adobo Seasoning available.
