Oakridge BBQ Competition Rubs

Are the best barbecue rubs money can buy. We control every aspect of their production in-house; from recipe development to sourcing the freshest, highest-potency spices available directly from the farmers who grow them all across the globe. Oakridge BBQ rubs are then hand-blended, batch aged, and packaged by hand in our own production facility to ensure unsurpassed quality, flavor and freshness. Our competitors use standard commodity grade spices and high percentages of salt, fillers or artificial ingredients in their formulations, often tending to be nothing more than just cheaply flavored salt. In stark contrast, all Oakridge BBQ rubs feature ultra-high quality herbs and spices, raw unrefined cane sugar, and just the right amount of natural sea salt to perfectly balance each rub’s flavor profile. Additionally, Oakridge BBQ rubs are completely gluten free and contain absolutely NO MSG, artificial ingredients, preservatives, fillers or anti-caking agents. Our unique, quality-centered approach creates truly artisanal products with bold flavors and perfectly balanced sweet-hot, salty-savory profiles far surpassing any other barbecue rubs or seasoning blends on the market.

This is the real-deal folks; This is Serious Barbecue rub.
