Climax is a line of salt-based spices, all emphasizing bold flavors, with a name you will remember. Each flavor has been carefully concocted and blended to bring out the best in whatever you are preparing, whether it is Barbeque Ribs, Grilled Salmon, Boiled Potatoes, Buttered Popcorn, or your favorite Margarita!
The idea for the line of spices started with the Spice Rub: I started barbequing ribs back in the early nineties – first with marinade and sauce, and then started experimenting with dry-rubs. I found that the balance of salt and sugar, along with a complex blend of flavors made for the best-tasting ribs I had made – or tried. The spice rub is now the anchor flavor for all of my barbeque, whether for pulled pork, pig roasts, or chicken – it makes your meat stand out!
Following the Spice Rub, I began developing spice-blends for other foods: We often do concession stands at which we sell Burritos, and developed the Latin Spice to season the beans, or rice – it works perfectly, as you use the spice in place of salt, and all of the flavors you seek in Latin cooking come alive with the addition of this one ingredient. It is also great on grilled fish. Bringing your meat to climax is easy with Roast Rub, which is a coarser, more savory blend than the spice rub, and makes an unbelievable Prime Rib, but is also great on steaks, and other red-meat roasts. Meanwhile, the Lamb Rub blends the quintessential flavors of Rosemary, Garlic, and Black Pepper to bring out Lambs best attributes. Don’t like lamb? No worries – Use it in place of salt and pepper when you season boiled new potatoes – unreal! Like to kick the heat up? Climax Hot and Salty does the job: sprinkle on your eggs for breakfast, or on buttered popcorn for the unmistakable flavor of Habanero Peppers in the convenience of a jar. Finally, you are going to want to take an occasional sip as you enjoy all of these delicious foods – why not rim your glass with Margarita Salt! Enhancing the flavors of Orange and Lime found in most good Margaritas, this blend will make you the bartender of the hour!
