Provisions

Small batch.
No shortcuts.

Every provision is made by hand in small quantities. Request your batch — we produce when demand aligns, then deliver. Request → Produce → Deliver.

“A provisions brand that sources carelessly argues with itself. If the private dining table presents food sourced with reverence, and the provision jar tells a different story, the guest feels the contradiction even if they cannot name it.”

Dry Spice Rub
Maple Jerk Rub

The provision that started everything. Allspice from Portland Parish, Jamaica — ground fresh from whole berries. Vermont Grade A dark maple sugar, not syrup. Scotch bonnet heat balanced by smoked paprika and cinnamon.

Request your batch — we produce when demand aligns, then deliver. No inventory-first shelves. Use on lamb, chicken, salmon, or pork. Into marinades. As a compound butter base.

Wet Marinade
Jerk Marinade

The 48-hour philosophy in a bottle. Scotch bonnet, thyme, allspice, and maple — built for the same patience the Bornfidis kitchen demands at the table.

Pre-order for your next gathering. We batch to order, never to fill a warehouse.

8 oz · 48-hr rested formula · Refrigerate after opening

Finishing Sauce
Sorrel Gastrique

Caribbean sorrel reduced with Vermont technique — sweet, tart, and built to finish proteins and roasted vegetables. A bridge between island flavor memory and cold-climate craft.

Limited batches. Join the waitlist or request a jar for your table.

Fresh Seasoning
Green Seasoning

Scallion, thyme, scotch bonnet, garlic, and herbs — the Caribbean base that starts every Bornfidis dish. Not a garnish. A foundation.

Fresh batches move quickly. Request yours or join the waiting list for the next production run.

6 oz · Fresh-ground · Best within 21 days refrigerated

The foundation

Four provisions.
One complete kitchen.

Maple Jerk Rub, Jerk Marinade, Sorrel Gastrique, and Green Seasoning were designed together — each one complete on its own, and more powerful when used alongside the others. Request what you need; we batch to order.

Chapter 01
Maple Jerk Rub
The Foundation

Season with it. Marinate with it. Use it as the backbone of every dish that carries the Bornfidis signature.

Chapter 02
Jerk Marinade
The Patience

Time is the ingredient. The wet marinade carries the 48-hour philosophy into your kitchen before the table is even set.

Chapter 03
Sorrel Gastrique
The Finish

Sweet-tart sorrel reduced to a glaze. The last gesture on duck, lamb, or roasted roots.

Chapter 04
Green Seasoning
The Base

Herbs, scallion, and scotch bonnet — the Caribbean starting point for soups, stews, and the grill.

“Bornfidis does not make provisions to compete with grocery store shelves. We make them as a logical extension of the chef’s table — the same philosophy, the same standards, the same sourcing discipline, compressed into something you can take home.”

Bornfidis Recipe Bible — Chapter Three

How we source

Every ingredient
comes from somewhere specific.

The sourcing section of every provision recipe is not optional reading. It is the argument. The flavor is the evidence.

Changing the ingredient changes the result. Allspice from Portland Parish, Jamaica behaves differently from generic ground allspice. Vermont Grade A dark maple sugar is not the same as brown sugar. Scotch bonnet pepper has a fruity, floral quality that habanero — its closest substitute — approximates but does not replicate.

  • Allspice — Portland Parish, Jamaica
    Hand-harvested, sun-dried whole, ground to order
  • Maple Sugar — Vermont, Grade A Dark
    Third-generation farms, sustainable forestry, hardwood forest
  • Sea Salt — Atlantic, sustainably harvested
    Solar evaporation, no mechanized harvesting, certified managed
  • Smoke Wood — Vermont Sugar Maple + Apple
    Dry hardwood, 18-hour cold process, never above 80°F
  • Scotch Bonnet — Caribbean supplier preferred
    We reduce production rather than substitute and mislabel
Maple Jerk Rub
Jerk-Spiced Lamb Shoulder

48-hour dry rub, coconut braise, root vegetable purée. The dish the rub was built for.

Jerk Marinade
Overnight Jerk Chicken

Marinate two days before service. Grill hot, rest, serve with sorrel gastrique on the side.

Sorrel Gastrique
Duck with Sorrel Glaze

Reduced sorrel over seared duck breast. Sweet-tart finish that ties Jamaica to the Vermont table.

Green Seasoning
Callaloo & Coconut Soup

Green seasoning as the base — thyme, scallion, and scotch bonnet before the pot ever hits the fire.
