What is Jerk?
Jerk is a method of cooking pork and chicken that dates back to the Carib-Arawak Indians who inhabited Jamaica. Captured animals were cleaned and then "jerked" with sharp objects that created holes to stuff with local exotic spices. Jamaica is blessed with a great mix of locally grown spices that have long been a mainstay of Jamaican life and cuisine.

The Meats were then placed in stone lined deep pits and covered with the pimento wood which smoked heavily imparting a unique flavor to the meat. The holes on the meat allowed heat to escape without the loss of moisture leaving the meat spicy, moist and tender - simply delicious. This entire cooking process and spice blend have become know as "Jerking." Authentic Jerk Sauces and Spices remain true to the original mixtures used in Jamaica.
