From Portland to Your Plate
At Burke’s Jerk, our story is as rich and flavorful as the seasoning we create. Born from a legacy deeply rooted in the hills of Port Antonio, Portland, Jamaica—the original birthplace of jerk—our brand is a tribute to family, culture, and authenticity. Our founder’s father grew up surrounded by the vibrant aroma of pimento wood smoke and fiery Scotch bonnet peppers, where jerk wasn't just a recipe—it was a way of life. This cherished family recipe has been passed down through generations, lovingly perfected with time-honored techniques and bold Caribbean spices. What started as a kitchen tradition in our home has evolved into a flavorful brand made for yours. Every jar of Burke’s Jerk seasoning is handcrafted in small batches using high-quality, all-natural ingredients to ensure the depth and soul of Portland’s culinary heritage is never lost. But we’re more than just flavor—we’re storytellers of a culture, carriers of a flame that’s been burning for centuries. Our mission is to bring people together around good food and even better memories, no matter where they are in the world. Whether you’re grilling on the weekend, spicing up a weekday dinner, or introducing someone to jerk for the first time, Burke’s Jerk brings the taste of Jamaica home. Welcome to our table.
