Chulería en Pote — a little something in a jar — is the all-purpose Puerto Rican adobo created by Chef Ventura Vivoni. After years of cooking it for guests at his restaurant in the mountains of Adjuntas, Chef Vivoni bottled the blend so home cooks across the world could put the same flavor on their dinner table.
Original and Spicy come in 5.5 oz jars; Criollo comes in a 7 oz jar. All three are made in Puerto Rico. Hedman Soto was the first independent U.S. retailer to carry Chulería en Pote and remains the only U.S. retailer carrying it outside the brand's own website, every jar ships from us with the same care your abuela would put into mailing you something from home.

Frequently asked questions
Is Chulería en Pote the same as Adobo Goya?
No. Chulería en Pote is Chef Ventura Vivoni's own adobo, made in small batches in Puerto Rico. Original, Spicy and Criollo are three different formulas, and each jar carries its own ingredient declaration, which we publish exactly as printed on the label on each product page. If you want the difference between an adobo and a sazón explained properly, our adobo vs sazón guide covers it.
What's in Chulería en Pote?
How long does one jar last?
Original and Spicy are 5.5 oz jars; Criollo is 7 oz. How long a jar lasts depends on how often you cook with it. Keep closed and in a dry place.
Can I cook with all three blends at once?
Absolutely. Chef Vivoni often layers Original as a base and adds Criollo or Spicy as a finishing season. The Trio bundle exists for exactly this reason.
Where is Chulería en Pote made?
Made in Puerto Rico. Orders ship from Hedman Soto on the US mainland.
How fast does it ship?
Most orders ship within 1–2 business days. U.S. orders $60+ qualify for free standard shipping. Shipping to Canada is calculated at checkout.
