One Jar. Every Dish. Authentic Jamaican Flavour.
Every great Caribbean kitchen has an all-purpose seasoning within arm’s reach. Portland Mills All Purpose Seasoning is a generously sized 250g blend that seasons everything — chicken before the grill, fish before the pan, rice and stews, roasted vegetables, scrambled eggs, even pasta. It’s the kind of seasoning that becomes a daily habit and a kitchen essential.

The 250g Advantage
If you cook Caribbean food more than occasionally, the 40g sachets and small jars run out quickly. Portland Mills All Purpose Seasoning in the 250g size is for households where Caribbean flavour is part of daily cooking — not a special occasion. The larger format means better value per gram and fewer trips to restock.
The blend is built on a classic Jamaican all-purpose foundation: garlic, onion, thyme, and allspice, with the right ratio of salt to amplify rather than overpower. It’s seasoning designed by people who cook Jamaican food every day — which shows in how balanced and versatile the result is. Not too salty, not too spiced, with enough herbal character to make anything it touches taste distinctly and authentically Caribbean.
For Caribbean diaspora households in Australia, a jar of all-purpose seasoning in the pantry is as fundamental as olive oil in an Italian kitchen. For Australian cooks looking to add Caribbean flavour dimension to everyday meals, this is the easiest and most versatile starting point in the entire product range.
How to Use
- Chicken: Rub generously over chicken pieces before grilling, roasting, or frying. Marinate for 30 minutes minimum, overnight if time allows.
- Fish: Sprinkle over fish fillets with a squeeze of lime and let sit for 15 minutes before pan-frying or grilling.
- Rice: Add a teaspoon to the water when cooking rice for a subtle Caribbean base flavour.
- Vegetables: Toss roasted or grilled vegetables in the seasoning with olive oil before cooking.
- Everyday: Keep on the counter alongside salt and pepper — use it anywhere you’d reach for those.
