Behind the Blends: What makes Hunt & Gather BBQ Rubs Unique

Living off the land is in our DNA.

At Hunt & Gather foraging is what we do, taking the best herbs and spices from around the globe and creating mouth watering additions to your BBQ and grill.

We believe BBQ is more than just cooking – it’s a ritual, a celebration, and a way to bring people together over unforgettable flavour. That’s why every rub we craft is a reflection of this philosophy, proudly made right here in New Zealand, with ingredients and care that set us apart.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or a weekend warrior. 

 

Born in NZ, Inspired by Nature

Our roots run deep in the New Zealand landscape – wild, rugged, and full of flavour.

From native herbs to rich, earthy spices, our rubs are inspired by the land itself. We source quality ingredients and blend them in small batches to ensure freshness and bold, balanced taste in every sprinkle.

 

No Fillers, No Nasties – Just Real Flavour

You won’t find cheap fillers or unpronounceable additives & numbers in our rubs. Whether you’re cooking low and slow or searing something quick on the grill, our rubs are designed to enhance – not overpower your food.

 

Crafted for Versatility

We’ve tested our blends on everything from wild venison to supermarket chicken. The goal? Rubs that work just as well on a backyard BBQ as they do in the kitchen oven. Whether you’re grilling, roasting, pan-frying or even air-frying, Hunt & Gather rubs bring flavour without the fuss!

 

Tailored to the Kiwi Palate

Kiwi’s love big, bold flavours – but we also value balance. Our blends are carefully tuned to suit local tastes, offering just the right hit of heat, depth and aroma. From smoky and sweet to zesty and spicy, there’s a rub for every kind of BBQ lover in our range.

 

Built by BBQ Lovers, For BBQ Lovers 

We’re not a faceless factory – we’re passionate foodies who live and breathe fire, smoke and flavour. Every product we release has been tested (and tasted!) on our own grills before it reaches yours. We obsess over the details so you can focus on what matters: good food and good company.
