Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce

Tangy, slightly sweet, and mildly spicy, this Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce is perfect for barbecue, smoked or grilled meats, and even burgers! Rooted in South Carolina’s barbecue tradition, this mustard-based sauce dates back to German immigrants who brought their love of mustard to the region, creating a bold, flavour-packed classic.
