Summary

Our Poultry Rub is crafted to enhance your favorite poultry dishes. This blend is built on a robust foundation of sage, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary, to which we've added the piquant touches of black pepper, garlic, onion, and celery. It's a salt-free mix, making it a versatile choice for seasoning not just poultry but also pork and can be a delightful addition to stuffing or even savory jams.

History

The use of herb-based rubs for poultry is steeped in culinary tradition, reflecting the lighter, more delicate flavors of birds like chicken and turkey. Historically, these herbs were chosen for their ability to complement the subtle flavors of the meat without overwhelming it. In Europe, particularly in Mediterranean cuisine, the use of marjoram and thyme has been documented in cooking practices dating back to ancient times. These herbs were often grown in kitchen gardens and used fresh or dried to season meats and stews. Our Poultry Rub echoes these historical uses but brings its own modern twist with the addition of ingredients like black pepper and celery, offering a contemporary flavor profile that enhances today's diverse culinary landscape.

Why We Love It

We love this Poultry Rub for its ability to make every poultry dish sing with flavor. Whether it's a roasted turkey at Thanksgiving or a simple grilled chicken breast on a weeknight, this rub adds depth and character. The combination of traditional herbs with a touch of onion and garlic creates a taste that is both familiar and excitingly different. It's our go-to for not just holiday meals but for everyday cooking as well.

The More You Know

Did you know that rosemary, one of the key ingredients in our Poultry Rub, was used during the Middle Ages to ward off evil spirits and as a symbol of remembrance? Today, while we might not use it for spiritual protection, it certainly guards our dishes against blandness and is a memorable addition to any culinary creation.
