Food traditions often come from a mix of need, creativity, and environment. Across the Caribbean and nearby regions, sausages and spiced meats grew from that same blend.

The oil you choose will shape aroma, texture, and the flavor frame that surrounds every other ingredient. A neutral oil can make spices sing. An olive oil can add a soft, fruity warmth.
