Frequently Asked Questions About Calve barbecue sauce
What does Calve barbecue sauce taste like?
Calve barbecue sauce has a sweet, tangy and smoky flavour rather than a strongly hot one. It adds a pronounced barbecue-style taste to grilled foods, so start with a small amount if you do not want the sauce to dominate the dish.
Can you use Calve barbecue sauce as a marinade?
Yes, Calve barbecue sauce can be used to coat meat or chicken before cooking. Because barbecue sauces are sweet, a thick coating may scorch over high heat; use a modest amount for marinating and add extra after cooking if needed.
When should you put Calve barbecue sauce on food while grilling?
Brush Calve barbecue sauce on during the final part of grilling, not right at the start. Its sweet coating can darken or burn over direct heat, while adding it near the end gives the food time to pick up the flavour.
Is Calve barbecue sauce spicy?
No, Calve barbecue sauce is mainly sweet and smoky, not a hot chilli sauce. If you want more heat, mix a little chilli sauce into your serving rather than changing the whole bottle.
What is the difference between Calve barbecue sauce and steak sauce?
Calve barbecue sauce is typically sweeter and smokier than steak sauce, which often has a sharper, more savoury or tangy flavour. Use Calve for a glazed or smoky finish, and choose steak sauce when you want a sharper table condiment.
Can Calve barbecue sauce be used in the oven?
Yes, Calve barbecue sauce works on oven-baked chicken, ribs and vegetables. For a less burnt finish, brush it on near the end of baking or serve it on the side instead of coating the food from the beginning.
What foods go well with Calve barbecue sauce?
Calve barbecue sauce pairs well with grilled chicken, burgers, ribs, roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables. It also works as a dip for fries or as a spread in a sandwich; its sweet-smoky taste is strongest when used sparingly.
How is Calve barbecue sauce different from homemade barbecue sauce?
Calve barbecue sauce is ready to use and gives a consistent sweet-smoky taste, while homemade sauce lets you adjust sweetness, tang and spice. For a quick homemade-style variation, stir a little vinegar or chilli into a serving rather than the whole bottle.
How should you store Calve barbecue sauce after opening?
Keep Calve barbecue sauce tightly closed in the refrigerator after opening, and use a clean spoon if you serve it from the bottle. Follow the storage directions and use-by guidance printed on the packaging.
Can people with diabetes eat Calve barbecue sauce?
People with diabetes can include Calve barbecue sauce, but its carbohydrates can affect blood glucose. Keep the portion modest and count it as part of the meal; the effect depends on the serving and the rest of the meal.

What is Calve barbecue sauce?
Calve barbecue sauce is a ready-to-use, sweet, smoky condiment for grilled foods and meats. Barbecue sauce is closely associated with American-style grilling, and this bottled version can be brushed onto food during cooking or served at the table for dipping.
It works with burgers, ribs, chicken, fries and grilled vegetables, or as a spread in a sandwich. Its nutrition profile is mainly carbohydrate, with little fat or protein. The sweet, bold flavour can quickly dominate a dish, so start with a small amount; mixing it with plain yoghurt or using it sparingly as a glaze gives you a milder pairing.
