Culantro: Bold, Robust, Deeply Aromatic
The sharp-edged herb behind authentic sofrito.
BOLDER THAN CILANTRO
Culantro, the Herb Behind Authentic Flavor
Culantro delivers a bolder, more concentrated version of cilantro’s flavor, with long, serrated leaves and an intense aroma that holds up to long cooking. A cornerstone of Caribbean and Latin American sofrito, culantro is essential for authentic stews, rice dishes, and marinades. At Latin Specialties, we source culantro for consistent quality and freshness, from field to case.
Bold, robust, and unmistakable—culantro is the flavor foundation of sofrito.
