BBQ Sauce & Dry Rubs

The Carolina Sauce Company was born in the heart of barbecue country, and we've got a special affection for the local barbeque sauces.

We're happy to offer barbecue sauces from North Carolina and other parts of the US, as well as some international favorites. We also have an extensive selection of dry rubs and seasonings. You could spend hours researching different barbecue recipes and slaving in the kitchen trying to perfect your barbeque sauce or rub recipe, OR you could spend just a few minutes here and select a delicious award-winning sauce or rub that's sure to please your palate.

Did you know that most hot sauces are very low in carbohydrates, and many are zero carb? Likewise, most Eastern NC barbecue sauces are also low carb, because they're vinegar-based and usually have no tomatoes or sweeteners. What's great about the low carb diet is that not only do you get to eat meat, but you can make it taste good, too! We've put together a section of Low Carb Sauces in our store to help you out. Of course, some of these sauces may say ZERO carbs on the label, but actually have < 1.0 carbs, so be careful. But for almost any of these, a little dab will do ya!
