At Peach Spice Co, we ve crafted our Spicy Pacific Ocean Rub to capture the essence of Santa Maria-style barbecue.

This unique blend combines the traditional flavours of salt, pepper, and garlic with a fiery kick of cayenne pepper, balanced by the sweet notes of brown sugar and cumin. It s a fusion of Spanish, Mexican, and Southwestern cuisines that embodies the diverse culinary tapestry of California.

History of the Santa Maria BBQ 

Santa Maria-style barbecue, originating from California s lush Santa Maria Valley, is a beloved regional cuisine with deep historical roots. Dating back to the 1800s, local rancheros and vaqueros gathered for Spanish-style feasts, cooking meat over earthen pits filled with coastal live oak embers.

As the decades passed, the art of Santa Maria BBQ flourished. Today, a quintessential Santa Maria-style grill features a hand crank to adjust the grill s height over the coals, ensuring perfect cooking temperatures. Pitmasters meticulously season beef tri-tip with a blend of salt, pepper, and garlic before slow-smoking it over red oak coals to tender, smoky perfection.
