A unique fusion of sweet & salty, spicy & savoury; an aromatic combination that will have your taste buds racing.

With deep Southern roots, our Island Spice Blend brings the perfect harmony of savoury, salty, and subtly sweet flavours to every dish. Inspired by the bold flavours of classic Cajun seasoning, this blend combines aromatic paprika, garlic, and a touch of warmth from cayenne and ginger, making it incredibly versatile.

The earthy depth of cumin and turmeric, the herbaceous lift of oregano, thyme, and basil, and the gentle sweetness of coriander round out the flavour profile—creating a smoky, slightly spiced, and well-balanced seasoning that enhances everything from grilled meats and seafood to roasted vegetables and crispy potatoes.

It’s the secret ingredient behind the signature fries at Woodfire Restaurant, giving them an irresistible, crave-worthy taste. Whether you’re seasoning fresh-cut French fries, crispy potato wedges, or oven-roasted potatoes, Island Spice Blend adds the perfect kick of flavour without overpowering.
