OUR SPICES
SPICY SALT & PEPPER
STEAK
We started with a Montreal spice profile which is traditionally just salt and heavy black pepper. But we added a little more garlic, some peppers and a few surprises to make our Spicy Black Pepper Garlic blend to be that go-to, sure-fire jar of goodness that works with beef but also with fries or veggies. Our crystalized cacao butters take this staple of your spice cabinet and turn it into searing perfection, so try it on your steaks when you grill too.
BEST For
Steak, Hamburger & Fries, Roasted Broccoli
LEMON LIME
GOLDEN THYME
The citrus in Gumpel’s™ Lemon Lime Golden Thyme blend really show up. A coating of this blend adds the perfect amount of herby-brightness into your food and it’s great for veggies like cauliflower that don’t always have a direction on their own. Think of the bright citrus direction for fish and chicken too - it’s so good, it’s golden.
BEST FOR
Salmon, Chicken Breast, Asparagus, Green Beans, Tofu
EVERYTHING
ITALIAN
Besides cocoa butter, we’ve added a little depth and warmth to the expected traditional Italian blend of herbs. Oregano and basil play really well with the peppers and spices. Of course, we didn’t go too far - it’s still delivers when the vote is, let’s cook Italian!
BEST FOR
Meatballs, Mozz Sticks, Pasta, Onions, Squash or anything breaded
INDIAN NIGHT
CURRY
We love what Tom did with this blend! Gumpel’s™ version of this Indian curry might just be its best presentation yet. Warm traditional medlies of spicy heat all locked in by our searing butters.
BEST FOR
Flaky Seafood like Mahi or Grouper, Poultry, Chicken
TRASHVILLE
DIABLO
This one is from Tom’s fried chicken restaurant, where his number one menu item was the Trashville Sandwich. Hot, yes, but more savory and tangy.
BEST For
Wings, Fries, Whole Chicken, Fried Chicken, Potatoes
SMOKY COFFEE
B-B-Que
Sometimes smoky flavors come from the grill, or from hardwood. But they can also come from the earthy mushroom spice powders, or mellow ground coffees that you rub onto the food. We think you’ll discover them in this deep, tomato-tangy b-b-que blend. All locked in by our searing butters.
BEst for
Chicken, Ribs, Fries, Chicken, Corn On The Cob
