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. While many might consider the superiority of dry rubs or mustard-, tomato- or vinegar-based barbeque sauces to be a religious debate, we love them all. 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. Whether you spell it Barbecue, Barbeque or BBQ, and whether you like your ribs wet or dry, you'll find the perfect sauce or rub for your grilling masterpieces right here! We also have hot sauce, if you need some heat to wake up your homemade barbecue sauce recipe.

Cackalacky!

The original Cackalacky Spice Sauce is an all-natural, award-winning sauce that will add zesty flavor to all your favorite dishes. If you're looking for a spicy but not too hot alternative to boring vinegary hot sauces, then Cackalacky Spice Sauce is the answer to your prayers. Cackalacky: Funny name, seriously great taste!

North Carolina Products

If you are looking for authentic NC barbecue sauce and other products made in North Carolina, 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, Cackalacky and Blue's Habanero Reserve Hot Sauce, you can find them all in our North Carolina section (as well as on the product category pages).

Low Carb, No Carb Sauces

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!

Buy Dave's Insanity Private Reserve Hot Sauce 2011 Edition Here!

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! With three times the heat of the original Dave's Insanity Sauce, Dave's Gourmet Private Reserve Insanity Hot Sauce is not for the faint of tongue (or heart). Produced in small batches each year, with each bottle numbered and hand-signed by Dave himself, the 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 now buy the 2011 edition of Dave's Private Reserve here for far less, while supplies last...

Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce Gift Sets

Now you can own (and try, if you dare) the full line of Dave's Insanity hot sauces, at a discount price by ordering our Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce Gift Set! The "mildest" (which are still insanely hot) are Temporary Insanity hot sauce and Total Insanity hot sauce, both of which can "safely" be used directly on food and are a notch below the original Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce in heat. For the truly courageous (or insane) fire-eater, there's Dave's Ultimate Insanity Hot Sauce, which, like the original Insanity Hot Sauce, is actually a food additive to be used with care in cooking rather than directly on served food.
For chileheads who are truly crazy for capsaicin, you can't go wrong with our specially-priced Dave's Insanity Deluxe Gift Set featuring the four flavors of Dave's Insanity hot sauces plus Insanity Popcorn, Insanity Salsa and Insanity Mustard!
