Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ Sauce 1 gal — Carolina-style mustard & molasses glaze with hickory smoke for foodservice

Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ Sauce is a ready-to-use, one-gallon foodservice sauce that pairs creamy mustard, sweet molasses, apple cider vinegar and hickory smoke for a bold, golden barbecue glaze.

Designed for restaurants, caterers and high-volume kitchens, this one-gallon container delivers a tangy-sweet Carolina-style sauce formulated to cling, glaze and finish proteins and sides without added fillers or high-fructose corn syrup. The recipe combines smooth mustard character with molasses and aged cayenne for balanced heat, while natural hickory smoke and tomato paste give color and mouthfeel.

How does this sauce perform in a busy professional kitchen?

Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold is formulated specifically for food service use, offering thick body and strong cling so it stays on grilled or fried items during service. Because it contains no starch fillers, it resists burning and keeps a consistent texture under heat and finishing.

• No fillers or starches to thin under heat or scorch easily
• Ambient-stable packaging with a long 15-month shelf life
• Extendible up to 20% to stretch yield and lower cost per serving

What flavor profile can customers expect when used on menu items?

• Creamy mustard leads for a distinctive tang
• Molasses and sugar for background sweetness and color
• Apple cider vinegar for a bright finish and balanced acidity
• Hint of aged cayenne and hickory smoke for gentle heat and smoke flavor

How can I use this sauce across different dishes and preparations?
