We created our sofrito to be the perfect building block to cook a wide variety of recipes in less time, based on the tradition of Italian and Spanish grandmothers who make this by the jar to simplify cooking and boost flavor. After much testing, we came up with an aromatic base of sautéed onions, carrots and celery, complemented by the bright tones of tomatoes, white wine and vinegar. For additional depth, it has earthy, umami notes from mushroom powder, aromatic notes of rosemary and thyme, and just a hint of heat from black pepper and Kashmiri chili powder. A few tablespoons of this jammy sofrito is all it takes to spread rich, concentrated power into soups, sauces, stews, braises and nearly anything else that needs a boost of big flavor.

"Made a very yummy paella dish with this. My family loved it!"
"Easier than all the prep of making your own sofrito - and tastes amazing. We love it generously added to our black bean sou"
"The Sofrito certainly added complexity and flavor to my scrambled eggs this morning! I also used it to make a creamy salad dressing for a salad with chunks of salmon string beans and tomato. I simply mixed it with some Vegenaise. Yum!"
"I’ve used this to enhance the flavor of everything from scrambled eggs and omelets to chicken and pork sautes. It’s really helpful when you’re short on time and energy. I learned to make my sofrito at home from my mother and Tias and this is a tasty alternative."
"This product saves time and makes soups, stews, eggs taste wonderful with little effort. I ordered another jar before finishing the first jar."
