description Allegro Original Marinade Overview

Allegro Original Marinade is an American seasoning liquid produced by Allegro Fine Foods, based in Paris, Tennessee. Formulated with a soy sauce and vinegar base, the marinade also incorporates a blend of spices and fruit juices, such as pineapple and lemon. Since its introduction in the mid-20th century, it has become a staple condiment in the Southern United States. The sauce is primarily marketed as an overnight marinade to tenderize and flavor meats, especially beef, wild game, and poultry, though it is also utilized as a table sauce and grilling baste.
