Jim's Own BBQ Sauce

Spice up your summer barbecue with one of Jim’s Own award-winning sauces, made locally in Cary.

The company began in Jim Arnold’s kitchen in Durham in the mid-1990s, and after the sauces gained more popularity than Arnold ever expected, he went into business full time in 1997. The homestyle North Carolina barbecue sauces include flavors ranging from mild to smoky to hot. The company also produces delicious meat rubs, including a pincho rub, which is specifically made for meats and veggies on a skewer.
