Warmth with a Southwest drawl
Southwest Barbecue Booster brings cumin, chilli and paprika-style warmth together in a blend built for tacos, chilli and roast pumpkin alike. It's shaped by the same competition pedigree that's carried Croix Valley to nine World Championship titles out of Hudson, Wisconsin. Mild-medium warmth, honestly labelled — not fiery, just genuinely flavourful.
The flavour
Toasted cumin and smoky paprika lead the way, warm rather than sharp. The middle brings a gentle chilli warmth alongside a touch of garlic and onion, rounding into something closer to a good taco seasoning than a straight heat blend. It finishes with a lingering, smoky warmth that suits slow-cooked meat as much as roasted vegetables.
How to cook with it
- Season pulled pork generously before it goes into a low and slow cook, and dust it again through the bark once it's pulled.
- Toss corn cobs in oil and a solid shake before grilling for a smoky, Southwest-style side.
- Stir a heavy spoonful into beef chilli early in the cook so the spices have time to build through the sauce.
- Toss chunks of pumpkin in oil and a generous coating before roasting for a warm, smoky edge.
- Stir it into sour cream for an instant dip that pairs well with corn chips, no cooking required.
In the shaker
A rustic, terracotta-toned blend with a fine, even grind that pours steadily and doesn't clump. The warmth builds gradually on the cook rather than hitting all at once, so it's easy to layer through a longer cook like pulled pork.
