A recent product launched by Diva Chocolates, a Company that manufacture grilling rubs for beef, poultry and pork, toppings for salads and vegetables, is a new line of grilled rubsChocolate spiced blends. It includes Mocha Java Steak Rub, Orange Chocolate Chicken Rub, Spicy Cocoa Rib Rub, Kickin’ Chocolate Beef Rub and Cocoa Fennel Burger Mix.
As the grilling season is on its high these unique rubs made from roasted cocoa beans pairs well with the smoked meats. As per Julie Berlin, co-president of Diva Chocolates:
Using chocolate as a seasoning for meat gives a gourmet edge to grilling. We combine the goodness of chocolate with uncommon ingredients, such as orange peel, lemon grass, espresso, cinnamon, coriander and fennel to create a flavor sensation. Once you try a Diva grilling rub, you’ll find it hard to go back to traditional barbecue seasoning.
The chocolaty-meaty combination is sure to get you bold flavors and an unmatched aroma…so be prepared to get compliments parallel to the creative rub. Fusion cooking has a charm of its own and on smoked foods such flavor fusion is always an exploration in the food industry.
