Nana’s Sofrito is the representation of my family’s Sofrito whose roots are found in beautiful Puerto Rico. When my grandparents immigrated to the States, they brought Sofrito with them and kept the traditional alive by making sofrito to enhance their cooking. As a child I remember going to my grandmother’s house and watching her make Sofrito. She always made enough for her children to take home with them. The supply and the beautiful aroma would last several weeks. When the Sofrito was close to finishing it was back to grandmas for a new supply. It’s these memories that inspired me to create Nana’s Sofrito. I take pride in knowing that I can implement a healthier Sofrito to add to our tradition and share with others.

Sofrito carried a meaning of its own for the country that it represented within the Latin and Caribbean cultures. Puerto Rican Sofrito is not identified in the same way as Sofrito made from other Hispanic and Latin American countries.
