The Heart of BBQ: Why Rubs and Seasonings Matter

When you think about BBQ, the first thing that might come to mind is the aroma of sizzling meat on the grill. But what truly elevates barbecue from good to extraordinary is the blend of spices and herbs that coat each bite. Our BBQ rubs and seasonings are designed to do just that—transform your cooking into a flavour-packed journey.

Rubs and seasonings are the foundation of BBQ. They create a flavourful crust, known as the "bark," which seals in the juices, tenderizes the meat, and adds layers of complex flavours. Whether you’re a fan of smoky, sweet, spicy, or tangy, there’s a rub or seasoning that can elevate your grilling game.

The Craft of Creating the Perfect Rub

Creating the perfect BBQ rub is both an art and a science. Each of our blends is carefully crafted to achieve a balanced profile that complements different types of meat and cooking styles. Here’s a peek into our process:

1. Ingredient Selection: We start by sourcing the finest spices and herbs from around the world. From smoked paprika to coarse sea salt, every ingredient is chosen for its quality and flavour intensity.

2. Balancing Flavors: The magic of a good rub lies in the balance of flavors. We meticulously blend sweet, salty, savoury, and spicy elements to create a harmonious taste that enhances the natural flavours of the meat.

3. Testing and Refining: Before any blend reaches your kitchen, it undergoes rigorous testing. We grill, taste, and refine until we’ve created a product that meets our high standards—and we know it will meet yours too. 

We only ever release rubs and seasoning blends that we would be happy and proud to serve in our own home to guests, family and friends alike.

We create the flavours and you create the journey, so don't hold back have fun and experiment.
