Old Styrian BBQ Sauce – Rustic Tradition Meets Smoky Fire

Our Old Styrian BBQ Sauce is a tribute to the hearty culinary culture of Styria. Distancing ourselves from over-sugared industrial products, we focus on a profound, dark aromatic profile. The sauce combines the power of ripe tomatoes with the malty sweetness of dark apple reduction and a finely tuned world of spices that evokes the coziness of a traditional Styrian Buschenschank.

A homemade smoky BBQ sauce featuring 50% Paradeismark (tomato paste) made from Styrian tomatoes. It doesn’t get much more regional than this. Experience the sheer power of this unique sauce on the palate. Perfect for grilled dishes, but also excellent as a dip or even as a base for salad dressings.

Ingredients:

Tomato paste (50%), apple juice concentrate, apple cider vinegar, sugar, smoked salt (salt, smoke), chili, garlic, MUSTARD FLOUR, onion, spices.

Product Features & Quality Characteristics

• Main Ingredients: Strained tomatoes, apple juice concentrate, house-made apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, onions, garlic, and a pinch of caraway.

• Flavor Profile: Hearty and savory, malty-sweet with a subtle earthiness and a very mild, pleasant background heat.

• Texture: Especially thick and dark—adheres excellently to robust cuts of meat.

• Purity Standards: No artificial smoke flavors (Liquid Smoke), no molasses, and guaranteed free from corn syrup.

• Special Highlight: The use of apple juice concentrate creates a more complex, almost coffee-like roasted aroma when heated.

Sensory Profile:

• Appearance: A deep dark brown, almost like liquid ebony.

• Bouquet: Robust and bold. Notes of baked onion, dark caramel, and a hint of forest smoke.

• Palate: It unfolds a full, full-bodied spice that isn’t just superficially sweet; instead, it gains a wonderful structure through the apple cider vinegar.

Culinary Applications:

• Beef Specialist: The perfect partner for beef brisket, beef ribs, or a juicy T-bone steak.

• Wild Boar Burger: The tart, savory spice harmonizes phenomenally with bold game meat.

• Bean Dishes: A splash of Old Styrian turns simple baked beans into a true gourmet experience (Styrian Style).

• Meatloaf & Meatballs: Ideal for glazing meatloaf or as a powerful dip for meatballs.

• Vegetarian Tip: Refines grilled Portobello mushrooms or smoked tofu with its dark umami note.

Expert Knowledge: Natural Concentration Using apple juice concentrate brings valuable minerals and a natural depth of color to the sauce. In the Old Styrian, it serves as the foundation for caramelization. By avoiding artificial binding agents, the sauce remains “honest” on the palate and doesn’t mask the meat’s own flavor, but rather enhances it.
