Jill, Senior Principal Scientist

As Senior Principal Scientist, Jill can attest to the classic Southern flavor combo of cola and BBQ, having both grown up and traveled extensively in the South. Often regarded as a popular “secret” ingredient for Southern BBQs, cola adds sweetness and acidity to family-favorite BBQ sauce recipes.

When Jill was asked to create a BBQ seasoning with a complex taste experience, she immediately tapped into her childhood to lead the way.

To replicate this stand-out flavor, Jill created a Cola BBQ Seasoning starring Natural Cola Type Flavor, Natural Molasses Flavor, and Natural Garlic Flavor. She also used Optify™ Natural Flavor Enhancer. The result is a seasoning twist on standard BBQ with notes of hickory and mesquite smoke, paprika, chile pepper, onion, garlic, and black pepper, all married together with the signature sweetness of cola.

With more than 80% of Americans loving or liking BBQ (according to Datassential FLAVOR), it’s a no-brainer to this Cola BBQ Seasoning would be appealing. Apply it to a variety of snacks like chips, nuts, crackers, proteins like chicken or pork, or even French fries to elevate the flavor profile in an exciting new way.
