Wholesale Gourmet Rubs for Low & Slow Cooking
Intense flavour profiles and striking visual appeal engineered for commercial kitchens and butcher counters.
Leonards Gourmet Rubs are crafted to meet the demands of the modern, culinary-focused consumer. Specially formulated to withstand the prolonged heat of low and slow cooking, these dry marinades form a perfect, flavourful crust (or "bark") on meats while locking in natural juices.
Whether your customers are smoking beef briskets, slow-roasting pork shoulders, or preparing seasoned vegetable trays for the ready-meal market, our rubs provide vibrant colour, coarse-textured appeal, and deep flavour penetration.
The Gourmet Rub Range
- Sweet & Smokey: Our most versatile, crowd-pleasing rub. It delivers a rich, tomato-based sweetness perfectly balanced with deep, authentic smoky notes. An absolute essential for ribs, pulled pork, and chicken wings.
- Mediterranean: A visually stunning blend packed with rich tomato flakes and a heavy aromatic hit of oregano, thyme, and basil. It looks and tastes divine on lamb joints, roasted vegetables, chicken breasts, and white fish.
- Porchetta: A classic, authentic Italian profile dominated by robust garlic and aromatic fennel. Specifically engineered to blend perfectly with pork belly, loin roasts, and premium sausages.
- Lebanese: A sophisticated, aromatic blend featuring deeply roasted cumin and coriander. It delivers a rich Middle Eastern depth of flavour with a gentle, warming spice that elevates lamb, beef skewers, and flatbread accompaniments.
Why Food Producers Choose Leonards Gourmet Rubs:
- Thermal Stability: Formulated with high-quality herbs and spices that retain their vibrant colours and rich flavours without burning or turning bitter during long smoking or roasting processes.
- Dual-Purpose Versatility: While engineered to perfection for premium meat cuts, these dry rubs adhere beautifully to oil-brushed vegetables, making them ideal for high-margin vegetarian and vegan counter lines.
- Superior Visual Texture: Unlike fine powders, our gourmet rubs feature a coarser blend that catches the light on the counter display, giving products a high-end, artisan, scratch-cooked aesthetic.
