If you’ve got a grill master, bbq fanatic or sauce lover on your holiday shopping list, skip the box set gifts this year and go local. North Carolina has many Got to Be NC members who are crafting some of the most flavorful sauces and seasonings in the state, and they make perfect gifts for anyone who loves to fire up their grill or spend time in the kitchen.
This year we’ve created a gift lineup that features sauce like Cackalacky’s Secret Sauce, Sweet Cheerwine BBQ Sauce and Bold Gold, each offering a unique taste of Carolina tradition. The list has classics like Blue Mist Barbecue Sauce and Black Dog Gourmet Dog-Gone-Good Chicken & Rib BBQ Sauce that bring N.C. flavor right to your kitchen or grill. From Jabba’s Creations sauces to Happy Hog Sauce Co.’s creative flavors like Southern Fusion, Blueberry Blast and Crossfire, there’s something for every sauce lover, whether they prefer tangy, sweet, spicy or bold.
Seasonings round out this gift guide with options like Shipwrecked Seasonings, Parker’s Barbecue iconic dry rub, Baste seasonings and Bone Suckin’ Sauce Seasoning & Rub. Pair any seasoning with a sauce and you’ve got the perfect gift.
Buying local isn’t just about getting local flavor; it’s a way to support North Carolina producers and family-owned businesses during a busy time of the year. These aren’t products that are mass-produced, they’re handcrafted and bottled with a lot of love.
This holiday season, put together a flavorful gift box with Got to Be NC sauces and seasonings for a thoughtful way to share the best of North Carolina with everyone on your list.
Many of these products can be found online on their websites, at your local grocery store or at farmers markets across the state.
