Cultural Significance

Jerk seasoning is a cornerstone of Jamaican cuisine, originating from the Maroon communities who developed the technique of marinating meat with local spices and slow-cooking it over pimento wood. Today, jerk is enjoyed daily in Jamaica — from roadside jerk pan stands to fine dining — and has become a global culinary icon. Dunn’s River preserves this heritage by delivering a seasoning that’s as authentic as you’ll find on the island itself.
