A Puerto Rican family recipe
From Abuela's Kitchen to Yours.
It was never written down. It was made by feel, by taste, by memory — passed from mother to daughter, one generation to the next.
Where it started
Abuela learned it from her mother, who learned it from hers.
It was never written down. It was made by feel, by taste, by memory — passed from mother to daughter, one generation to the next. We grew up learning it the same way: standing beside the stove, watching, stirring, sneaking a taste when no one was looking.
For years, this sofrito was just ours — made for family dinners, Sunday meals, and the people we love. But some things are too good to keep to yourself.
Why we're sharing it now
Some things are too good to keep to yourself.
So we're making it the same way abuela did — by hand — and bringing it to local stores that support small makers and real food. Look for us in the produce aisle.
