Jerk is a unique Jamaican way of preserving and cooking meat, originally pork and chicken, now Mama’s legendary Vegetarian Burgers are specially 'jerked'.

The native Arawak Indians, started the Jerk phenomenon using Jamaican pimento (what we call all spice) and combined it with hot scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, garlic, salt & scallion.

Recipes have been passed down through generations and techniques kept secret. Competition and pride runs high among jerk cooks in Jamaica, but we challenge anyone to beat the intense flavour of Mama’s Jerk Marinade.
