What Makes Oakridge Barbecue Rubs Different?
Made with the highest quality spices available
Oakridge searches the world over for sources of pure, fresh-milled, ultra-high quality spices with the highest volatile oil concentrations available.
Blended with precise measurements
Every ingredient is hand measured with half-a-gram (0.5 g) precision. That’s over 28 times more precise than the level of precision used by many of their competitors. These super-precise measurements achieve excellent consistency from batch to batch. After measurement, every ingredient is sifted through specific-sized stainless steel mesh screens to ensure particle size consistency.
Small batch sizes for the freshest rub
Oakridge rubs are still only made in very small batches. This means there is never old rub setting around waiting to be sold. New batches are blended daily, so our customers always receive the freshest product possible. Put our ultra-fresh spice rubs together with our special high-barrier air and moisture proof packaging, and you’ve got a winning combination.
Batch-Aged for proper flavor profile development
Herbs and spices contain many different essential oils and volatile flavor compounds. When a rub is first blended, these flavors can be very sharp and seem unorganized on the palate. Through their proprietary aging process, Oakridge uses just the right combination of time, temperature, and humidity to batch age all their rub blends so they develop perfectly balanced flavor profiles. Once the rubs are properly aged, they are then ready to be packaged for sale and distribution.
Hand-applied labels
Every label is applied by hand. Our packaging is also very unique to the blended spice industry. Oakridge is the pioneer in using flexible, high-barrier, multi-laminate stand-up bags for their BBQ rubs. This means that their packaging doesn’t leak air, moisture or light through to the spices inside. This impenetrable barrier keeps our spices fresher up to 10 times longer than competitors using standard spice shaker bottles.
Hand-filled packages
Rub for every package is individually weighed and filled by hand. Since we don’t fill volumetrically, you can be assured every package contains exactly the amount (or a little more) of rub you’re paying for.
Heat-sealed for ultimate freshness
Oakridge uses a wide-band commercial heat seal to lock in freshness. Left in a factory sealed condition and stored in a cool dark place, their rubs will stay fresh for at least 5 years.
Filled to order
Every order is processed and filled as it’s received, so your rubs won't be filling up a factory warehouse going stale waiting to be used.
Oakridge BBQ rubs are completely gluten free, NON GMO, and contain absolutely NO MSG, artificial ingredients, preservatives, fillers or anti-caking agents. Their unique, quality-centered approach creates truly artisanal products with bold flavors and perfectly balanced sweet-hot, salty-savory profiles to compete with or surpass any other barbecue rubs or seasoning blends on the market.
