Hi, I’m Trudy — founder of TruFlavor Seasonings. I was born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, in a small town about an hour outside the city. Growing up, some of my fondest memories are from time spent in my grandmother’s kitchen. The scent of simmering beans, sautéed garlic, cumin and oregano would fill the house, wrapping us in comfort, love, and the promise of a good meal.
Cuban cooking is full of soul. It’s a vibrant blend of Spanish, African, Caribbean, and even Portuguese influences, built on simple ingredients that deliver bold, layered flavors. In almost every dish, you’ll find garlic, onions, aromatic herbs, and flavorful spices — often finished with a splash of fresh citrus juice to bring it all to life.
I created the Taste of Cuba Bundle to help you bring that same warmth and richness into your own kitchen — whether you grew up on Cuban food like I did, or you’re discovering it for the first time. This bundle includes four of my signature blends that honor the heart and soul of Cuban cooking:
Cuban Mojo Blend – Garlicky with notes of oregano, parsley, cumin and a hint of red pepper flakes for flavor. It comes alive when paired with fresh citrus juice like lemon or lime — perfect for marinades, dipping sauce, slow roasts, vegetables, grillinf and more.
Cuban Adobo Blend – Earthy, savory, and super versatile. This is a go-to for seasoning meats, vegetables, and rice.
Cuban Beans Blend – Rich and smoky with a hint of bell pepper, cumin, and oregano. Ideal for black beans, stews, tacos, and even grilled vegetables when paired with Cuban Adobo.
Cuban Chicken & Rice Blend – A balanced, all-in-one blend made for classic arroz con pollo, one-pot meals, soups, and more.
Whether you're recreating the flavors of your childhood or bringing new tastes into your home, the Taste of Cuba Bundle is a simple way to cook with flavor, culture, and heart

(Note: Our Caribbean Jerk and Caribbean Fyah Jerk blends do contain organic lime juice powder, but they’re not part of this bundle.)
