Colombo paste offers a captivating aromatic blend, combining earthy, lemony, and spicy notes. Its aroma is enriched by a subtle balance between turmeric, coriander, cumin, and white pepper. Together, these spices create a unique and exotic fragrance that brings variety of dishes to life, adding a touch of warmth and depth to every bite.
Colombo, an iconic spice blend in Antillean cuisine, traces its roots back to the late 19th century during the British colonization and the arrival of immigrant workers from East India, known as "coolies". Gradually, the imported curry evolved into colombo, adopting spice adjustments and dosages to suit local Antillean preferences. The name "colombo" originates from the economic capital of Sri Lanka, thus evoking its initial connections. This city itself seems to be named in honor of the famous explorer, Christopher Columbus.
Colombo paste is made from a mixture of turmeric, ginger, thyme, pepper, chili, and mustard. These ingredients are ground and mixed with oil to form an aromatic paste, used to marinate meats, fish, or vegetables, adding a characteristic flavor to Caribbean dishes.
