“Since 2020. Darling’s Salts and Rubs is a chef-created concept with the objective delivering freshness, consistency, and versatility with each spice blend. With over fifteen years of professional culinary background and a pivot to the art of butchery and the smoking of meats, Darling’s Salts and Rubs challenges a market that has unfortunately become saturated with mass-produced, heavily salt-forward items that rely on MSG and preservatives to artificially extend shelf life. Darling’s lists each & every ingredient on the tin, and never uses MSG or gluten to stretch the quantity of its seasonings. Darlings salts and rubs is continually creating and testing new and out of the box ingredients, so check back regularly.”
Chef Darling’s collection currently consists of Butcher Salt, Truffle Salt, Coffee Dry Rub, Ancho Chili Dry Rub, BBQ Seasoning, and Garlic Herb Seasoning.
