Carolina Gold - Mustard Vinegar BBQ Sauce
Carolina Gold is vinegar and mustard with purpose.
This is not sweet Kansas City style. It’s not smoky-syrupy. It’s sharp, bright, and built on whole-grain mustard backbone with real acid structure. The first hit is tang — apple cider vinegar and mustard seed bite. Then brown sugar and honey round the edge just enough to keep it balanced.
The fermented red pepper base adds depth and subtle heat without overwhelming the mustard-forward identity. A touch of smoked paprika gives light warmth, while cracked black pepper keeps the finish clean and savory.
This sauce cuts through fat beautifully. It was built for pulled pork, smoked chicken, ribs, sausages, grilled pork chops, and even as a sandwich drizzle. It clings without being heavy and brightens rich meat instead of masking it.
Sharp. Gold. Built for smoke.
