  North Carolina has a prominent place in American barbeque history; many historians credit the state as the possible birthplace of barbeque. Known mostly for its use of vinegar in its barbeque sauce, which is iconic and an amazing flavor, North Carolina also has a barbeque rub tradition. We’ve created a version that represents its tradition while adding a Savory twist.

  This seasoning has great barbeque flavor with just a little cayenne-kick. Our version of this Carolina classic is great on pork, brisket, and chicken. Sprinkle on corn, vegetables, and potatoes. Add zip to BBQ and pizza sauces.
