Prime 4: Black Cocoa

Built for bark, depth, and drama—Black Cocoa is your secret weapon for steaks and smoked meats that don’t just taste incredible, but look unforgettable. This blend marries the rich, earthy complexity of black garlic with dark cocoa, toasted spices, and a whisper of heat to create a rub that sears beautifully and finishes with deep, savory intensity.

It’s not sweet. It’s not dessert. It’s cocoa reimagined as a tool for umami and color—crafted for chefs who understand that flavor starts before the first bite. Use it to develop a crust, a story, a moment of pause after the first chew.

Dark. Complex. Unapologetically bold.

Paired Best With:

Ribeye steaks, brisket, tomahawks, beef ribs, lamb chops, roasted root vegetables, or layered beneath Espresso for a deep, dual-cooked bark with a flavor edge.
