Better Than Bouillon Sofrito Base Cooking Paste, 8 oz Glass Jar — Fire-Roasted Tomato, Garlic & Cilantro, 38 Servings

This 8-ounce glass jar from Better Than Bouillon contains 38 servings of a ready-to-use sofrito base designed to simplify adding Latin-inspired aroma and depth to everyday cooking. The paste texture makes it easy to portion by spoonful, and the fire-roasted tomato backbone paired with aromatic onions, garlic, and cilantro gives dishes a balanced, smoky brightness without extra chopping or prep.

How will this sofrito base change the flavor of my meals?

The base adds concentrated savory, smoky, and herbal notes so you get complex flavor quickly. Instead of starting with raw vegetables, you add layers of roasted tomato and aromatics that amplify stews, rice, beans, and sauces.

• Fire-roasted tomatoes bring a subtle charred sweetness and umami depth
• Onion and garlic supply savory backbone and mellow pungency
• Cilantro adds fresh, bright herbaceous lift
• Concentrated paste means intense flavor with small amounts

How do I use the jar — is it easy to portion and store?

The paste is spoonable straight from the jar so you can control how much flavor you add. Stir a teaspoon into sauces or use multiple spoonfuls for larger pots; it dissolves into liquids and releases aroma quickly.

• Use a spoon or measuring spoon for precise portions
• Dissolves into soups, stews, and rice while cooking
• Resealable jar keeps remaining base fresh between uses
• 38 estimated servings per jar, depending on recipe intensity

Which recipes benefit most from this Culinary Collection Sofrito Base?

It works anywhere you want a Latin or Caribbean flavor lift: from quick weeknight meals to longer-simmered pots. The base pairs especially well with beans, chiles, tomato sauces, and grain dishes to add cohesive savory notes.

• Salsas and marinades: mix in for instant flavor boost
• Stews and braises: adds depth early in the cooking process

• Soups and sauces: blends smoothly for consistent flavor

Is this product suitable for cooks at different skill levels?

Yes—whether you’re a busy home cook or a recipe experimenter, the jar offers a time-saving way to achieve layered flavor without extra prep. It’s forgiving in recipes: add a little, taste, then adjust until you reach the desired intensity.

• Beginner-friendly: eliminates chopping and mix-and-match seasoning

• Flexible dosing: from subtle to bold depending on spoons used
• Works well in both quick and slow-cooked dishes
