Looking for a seasoning that captures the taste of Aotearoa? Rum & Que Homegrown is your go-to herbaceous blend, packed with native New Zealand botanicals like kawakawa, horopito, and NZ thyme. Whether you're firing up the BBQ, roasting a Sunday lamb, or giving your veg a lift—this rub brings clean, bold, and unmistakably Kiwi flavour to every dish.
