-Essential in the Spanish Caribbean and Latin American kitchens, adobo is a savory, all-purpose seasoning that imparts a garlic flavor and is normally used to season and/or marinate meat, chicken, or fish. The word adobo comes from the Spanish word adobar, which literally means “to marinate.” Historically it meant a type of pickling sauce made with olives, vinegar or wine, and spices. These days, adobo is prepared in two different ways—either a dry spice mix or a wet rub paste. This product is a dry spice mix. The spice mix can be combined with olive oil, bitter orange juice, vinegar or lime juice to make a paste for any kind of meat, poultry or fish. You can also use the adobo seasoning for beans, vegetables, stews, and other dishes.-
