Iberia Recaito & Sofrito Bundle 12 oz

Two foundational flavor bases in one bundle — Iberia recaito for the green, cilantro-forward Puerto Rican starter and Iberia sofrito for the red, tomato-and-pepper Cuban-leaning base. Together they cover the two ways most Caribbean home cooks build a pot.

The bundle includes one 12 oz jar of Iberia Recaito (cilantro, culantro, onion, garlic, ají dulce) and one 12 oz jar of Iberia Sofrito (tomato, onion, garlic, peppers, herbs). Both are shelf-stable until opened, then refrigerated for daily use.

What's Included: 1 jar Iberia Recaito 12 oz · 1 jar Iberia Sofrito 12 oz

Common Uses: Recaito as the green base for arroz con gandules, habichuelas guisadas, and pollo guisado. Sofrito as the red base for picadillo, ropa vieja, frijoles negros, and arroz con pollo. A spoonful into hot oil starts nearly any pot.

Perfect For: housewarming, care package, gifting, diaspora pantry restocking, weeknight cooking

Pairs With: Goya sazón, comino, bay leaves, dry white cooking wine, tomato sauce, black beans, long-grain rice.

Cultural Context: Recaito and sofrito aren't interchangeable — they're cousins. A Puerto Rican kitchen reaches for the green; a Cuban kitchen reaches for the red. Having both on the shelf is how mixed Caribbean households actually cook, and it's a thoughtful gift for anyone who grew up watching two abuelas argue about which base was correct.

Ships nationwide to Cuban and Puerto Rican households who'd rather not chop aromatics every weeknight.
