Named After Jamaica’s Most Famous Landmark

Dunn’s River takes its name from the iconic Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica — one of the Caribbean’s most visited natural landmarks. It’s a brand that carries the weight of Jamaican heritage behind every jar: carefully selected spices, blended specifically to complement the flavours of Caribbean cooking and world food dishes that have found their way into Australian kitchens.

Dunn’s River Everyday Seasoning is the definition of a kitchen workhorse. The blend of paprika, coriander, mustard, celery, black pepper, onion powder and a touch of chilli extract creates a savoury, aromatic base that enhances any dish without overwhelming it. Unlike single-spice products, this is a considered blend calibrated to work across a wide range of applications — rub it on chicken before grilling, stir it through a one-pot rice dish, fold it into minced meat for patties, or use it as the seasoning layer beneath a more specialised marinade.

At $8.00 for 100g, it’s one of the best-value authentic Caribbean seasonings available in Australia. Every Caribbean household in Sydney keeps a jar of something like this within arm’s reach at the stove — it’s the seasoning that does the heavy lifting when you don’t have time to build flavour from scratch.

How to Use

1. As a dry rub: Apply directly to chicken, fish, or pork before grilling or baking. Use 1–2 teaspoons per 500g of protein.
2. In rice dishes: Add 1 teaspoon when frying off the aromatics (onion, garlic) before adding rice and liquid — builds a flavoured base for Caribbean rice and peas or one-pot pelau.
3. In soups and stews: Add 1–2 teaspoons early in the cooking process to season the broth. Adjust at the end to taste.
4. In marinades: Combine with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and scotch bonnet sauce for a quick all-purpose Caribbean marinade.
5. No extra salt needed: This blend already contains salt — season your dish with it first, then taste before adding any additional salt.

Serving Suggestions

• Stew Chicken: Season chicken pieces with Everyday Seasoning overnight, then brown in oil and slow-cook with tomatoes, onion, and a scotch bonnet — classic Caribbean stew.
• Rice and Peas base: Use alongside Caribbean seasonings to build the perfect flavoured rice base.
• Complete your kitchen: Pair with Chief All Purpose Seasoning and Chief Cook-Up Seasoning for a comprehensive Caribbean spice shelf.
