Passion & Liquorice – Pitmaster Sauce

Saus.Guru’s Passion & Liquorice is a unique, distinctive, and remarkable sauce that offers an original mix of flavors that will surprise you. It’s inspired by Scandinavian (BBQ) cuisine, where cooking with liquorice (drop) and anise is a highly valued flavor combination. Although drop is considered a heritage product of the Netherlands, its flavor components are not commonly used as an ingredient in savory dishes.

Saus.Guru’s Passion & Liquorice is also known as “The Hoisin Sauce of the North” and provides an opportunity for the rest of Europe to discover this Scandinavian taste sensation. The word passion refers to the fruity and sour taste of passion fruit, which replaces the lesser-known Seabuckthorn berry that is commonly used in Scandinavia. Together with liquorice, herbs, and spices, it creates a unique and beautiful flavor harmony.

Within the Pitmaster Collection, this sauce is designed for the most curious and progressive chefs and Pitmasters. Use the Passion & Liquorice sauce with the matching Orange Delight Dry Rub from Saus.Guru for the perfect flavor combination, especially when preparing Pulled Pork. It’s also great on lamb, veal, and pork, white fish and salmon, shellfish like lobster and prawns, and it’s delicious over a wide range of roasted vegetables such as pumpkins, sweet potatoes, courgettes, eggplants, celeriac, peppers, and onions.

Diluted, this sauce can also be used as an injection fluid to add flavor from the inside out.

The Pitmaster Collection – The ultimate Rub & Sauce combination
The Story

Pit-mas-ter [‘pĭt-mæ-ster]. Noun (plural pitmasters)
Someone who operates a barbecue pit. Sometimes an expression of respect for someone skilled in barbecuing.

This collection has been developed in collaboration with pitmasters, especially for pitmasters and serious BBQ enthusiasts with above-average interest in flavors and BBQ preparation.
To the best of our knowledge, the Pitmaster Collection is the first competition level series of flavor enhancers in which Dry Rubs and BBQ Sauces are developed and taste-matched together, much like wine and food pairing in fine dining restaurants.
With Saus.Guru’s Pitmaster Collection, you have a unique series of products in your hands.

The sauces in the Pitmaster Collection are based on the competition sauces typically used in American Style BBQ championships, but with a twist.
The chefs at Saus.Guru have tailored the flavors of this collection to the European, more refined palate.
The sauces in the Pitmaster Collection are not as overwhelmingly sour as many of the other sauces in this segment.
They are also not extremely sweet.

All of this is done to bring more balance to the perception of their overall flavor and to allow all the flavor characters in the sauce to be experienced fully.
Moreover, they are slightly thicker than what is commonly found on the market.
This is very useful for the end user when glazing, coating, and candy-ing products during Low & Slow Cooking.

The Pitmaster Collection Dry Rub Series is composed of the best ingredients.
Top-quality spices are processed with extreme precision to achieve the proper size (schnitt) for optimal particle distribution and the perfect ‘bark.’
These rubs also have better salt balance to avoid overpowering the flavors of the herbs and spices.
