Caribbean Adjacent: Love, Culture & Flor de la Jara

Caribbean Adjacent: Stories of Love, Family, and Culture

The concept of cultural identity is beautifully complex, especially when love brings two distinct worlds together. In this episode of Carry On Friends – Caribbean Adjacent is a series, which explores the lives of individuals who become part of Caribbean culture through marriage and friendship. The series isn’t just about joining Caribbean culture — it’s about living it, sharing it, and preserving it for future generations through the bonds of family, community, and tradition.

From Madrid to Brooklyn to Olive Oil

This episode of the Caribbean Adjacent series, features past guest Tiffany, and her husband Jorge, co-founders of Flor de la Jara, a premium olive oil brand with roots in Spain and a home in Brooklyn.

Their love story begins at an airport in Madrid—a chance encounter that blossomed into a life together and a mission to merge heritage and entrepreneurship. From crafting fusion dishes like curry chicken with a Spanish twist to raising a trilingual son fluent in Patois and Spanish, Tiffany and Jorge are living proof that love and culture know no borders.

Through laughter, cooking experiments, and a shared vision, they show how cross-cultural relationships can thrive with grace, humor, and lots of olive oil. Whether it’s navigating miscommunications (“soon come” does not mean soon!) or celebrating big family cook-ups, this episode is rich with warmth, insight, and inspiration.
