Épis is the aromatic base of Haitian cooking. It’s the first layer of flavor built from fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices. Use it to season, marinate, and build dishes from the ground up.
Texture: Ultra-blended, velvety
Best for: Sauces, soups, marinades, everyday cooking
This version is blended until completely smooth, allowing it to melt seamlessly into dishes. It disperses evenly, coats proteins beautifully, and builds flavor without overpowering.
Perfect if you want depth without texture — or if you cook often and want something that works fast and consistently.
Use it for:
Poul, fish, or tofu marinades
Soups & sauces
Quick sautés
Rice & grains
One spoon goes a long way.
Texture: Hand-textured, aromatic
Best for: Stews, braises, roasting, bold dishes
This version keeps the herbs and aromatics more intact, giving you visible texture and bite. It holds up beautifully in slow-cooked dishes and adds character to roasted or braised proteins.
Perfect if you like seeing and tasting each layer of the seasoning.
Use it for:
Stews & braises
Roasted meats or vegetables
Long-simmered dishes
Bold, rustic cooking
Same balance. More texture.
