How spicy are your products?

Heat levels vary by product and are designed to complement food, not overpower it. Individual product pages note spice level when applicable.

Usage & Storage

How should I store your sauces and seasonings?

Sauces should be refrigerated after opening. Rubs and finishing salts should be stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, preferably away from sunlight or fluorescent lights.

Our dates indicate peak quality, not expiration. Products are safe to use beyond that date if properly stored.
