TAIPAN BBQ: Brazilian Pork – 175g

Churrasco swagger for your pork

Taipan BBQ's Brazilian Pork brings sweet, smoky South-American flavour to low-and-slow cooks. All-natural and made in Australia, it's built for the long haul — pork's new best mate.

The flavour

Sweet paprika and sugar up front, savoury garlic and onion through the middle, then warming ginger and a touch of mustard on the finish. Sweet and smoky, with just enough savoury backbone to stop it tipping into dessert.

How to cook with it

• Rub a pork shoulder heavily the night before, then smoke low and slow for pulled pork that falls apart.
• Coat pork ribs and cook indirect — being a sweet rub, keep it off screaming direct heat so the sugar doesn't scorch.
• Season pork belly or chops before the grill for caramelised, sticky edges.
• Try it on chicken thighs too — it's a ripper there as well.

In the shaker

A rich, red-brown blend with visible sugar and cracked pepper. It melts into a sticky, caramelised crust over a long cook.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Officer, I've never seen that pork shoulder before in my life. This one's a low-and-slow specialist — it's sweet, so keep it off screaming direct heat and let the smoke do the work. Rub it on the night before, cook it beside Taipan BBQ Competition Glaze, and finish with a smear of Tracklements Robust Wholegrain Mustard for a bit of bite.

FAQ

Is it just for pork?
Pork is where it shines — ribs, pulled pork, belly and chops — but it's excellent on chicken too.

Why keep it off high direct heat?
It's a sweet rub, so over fierce direct heat the sugar can catch and turn bitter. Cook indirect or low and slow for the best caramelised crust.

Is it gluten free?
There's no gluten source in the listed ingredients, but always check the physical label for allergen and "may contain" information.
