Carolina Gold BBQ Rub
Carolina Gold BBQ Rub
Carolina Gold BBQ Rub is an MSG-free, mustard-based barbecue rub and base for sauces and dressings. It is also known as Carolina mustard barbeque rub, Carolina mustard BBQ, mustard BBQ rub, or Carolina gold barbeque rub.
The central region of South Carolina is famous for its mustard-based barbecue, which may have evolved thanks to the arrival of German and French immigrants in the 1700s. This area is affectionately referred to as the “mustard belt”.
Carolina Gold BBQ Rub is popular with:
- barbecue and bar & grill-style restaurants;
- food trucks;
- sauce, condiment, snack, meal subscription, and jerky manufacturers;
- seasoning companies;
- butchers;
- independent spice shops; and
- catering companies
Flavor Profile
Carolina Gold BBQ Rub is bold and tangy, with sweet and sour balance and tingly, horseradish-like heat.
How To Use
Nothing says Carolina barbecue like chopped pork; use this rub as a dry marinade and slow-cook some Carolina Gold Smoked Pork Shoulder and then mix up some Carolina Gold BBQ Mustard. Since this blend is vegan you can also use it to make Carolina Gold BBQ Tofu Skewers, and serve it with Carolina Gold-kissed Sweet Potato Dipping Sauce. Substitute Carolina Gold BBQ Rub as the primary seasoning when you make Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage and Roasted Vegetables for a spicy, earthy twist. It is terrific when it’s swapped in to make Crispy Chicken Wings or to season a non-dairy Mustard Potato Salad.
Carolina Gold BBQ Rub pairs well with pork, chicken, firm fish like catfish, perch, or grouper, sausage, potatoes, jackfruit, tofu, seitan, tempeh, apples, butternut and other winter squash, breads, rice, spinach, and lentils.
