If you are looking for authentic North Carolina barbecue sauce and other products made in NC, look no further than our North Carolina Products page! From country ham and other pork products to smoked turkey, western NC or Piedmont style BBQ sauce to vinegar-based eastern NC barbeque sauce, Bone Suckin' Sauce to Toad Sweat Dessert Hot Sauces, and even officially licensed UNC and NC State and ECU collegiate hot sauces and BBQ gift sets, you can find them all in our North Carolina section (as well as on the product category pages).

Jim's Own BBQ Sauce is a deliciously tangy, slightly sweet Western NC style (aka Lexington or Piedmont) BBQ sauce, full of food-friendly flavor and without the overpowering vinegar taste of Eastern NC sauces. Based on an old family recipe from Jim's mother's kitchen over 50 years ago, Jim started bottling and selling his mild Homestyle version and fiery Hot BBQ sauce in 1997. Since then Jim's Own Sauce has won numerous awards and a loyal following among North Carolina barbeque afficionados. Recently, the folks at Jim's Own have introduced the tangy Jim's Own Mustard BBQ Sauce to please fans of low-country or South Carolina style barbecue, and the bold-flavored Jim's Own Smokey BBQ Sauce. All 4 flavors of Jim's Own Bar-B-Q Sauce are available in 16oz bottles, 32oz quarts, plastic gallon jugs, and by the case. We also have the brand-new Jim's Own All-Purpose BBQ Rubs in savory-sweet Mild, earthy Smokey, robust Pincho, and zesty Safari, which are mouthwatering on pork, beef, chicken, turkey, and even seafood & vegetables. If you need a special gift, we offer Jim's Own Gift Baskets, plus grilling aprons and t-shirts with the Jim's Own Sauce logo and slogan, "What the best-dressed pigs are wearing."

A gourmet gift basket stocked with hard-to-find and unique products is the perfect special-occasion gift for anyone who enjoys good food, from the home chef to the business colleague. Our selection of well-appointed gift baskets and strikingly packaged gourmet gift boxes has something for everyone, from the coffee lover to the chocoholic, the bacon freak to the caviar connoisseur, the international gourmand to the garlic lover. Visit our new Gourmet Gift Baskets page to see just a few of the amazing gift boxes and gift baskets available from our partners, and be sure to keep checking back because we will be expanding our offerings with additional themed gifts.

BBQ Sauce & Dry Rubs

The Carolina Sauce Company is located in the heart of barbeque 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!

When nothing but the very best (and hottest) will do, there's Dave's Gourmet Insanity Private Reserve. The wooden coffin wrapped in yellow 'caution' tape only hints at the incendiary power of this hot sauce! The 2013 edition is generally considered to be the hottest Private Reserve ever released (several times hotter than the original Dave's Insanity Sauce). Made with the hottest ghost pepper extracts, Dave's 2013 Private Reserve Insanity Hot Sauce definitely isn't for the tender tongue or weak heart. Produced in small batches each year, with each bottle numbered and hand-signed by Dave himself, each edition of Insanity Private Reserve sauce is a valuable collector's item. In fact, Dave's Gourmet claims a bottle from an earlier year sold for $1,000! Don't despair: You can buy the 2013 edition of Dave's Private Reserve here for far less, while supplies last...
