At Espirito Santo, we believe that bastes, marinades, rubs and finishing sauces are the foundation of cooking good meat. They transform ordinary meats into grilles of the highest distinction. They are the essential seasonings that give grilled fare the character, personality and very soul. They are the best kept secrets of our butchers. If there is a secret in a good roast, this is where the fine prints are found.

Basil, Dill, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Parsley, Thyme, Tarragon, Marjoram, Chives Onion and Chervil. Herbs are non-woody plants mostly grown from seed and used as flavorings in cooking or traditional medicine. The used of herbs in the kitchen is ruled by culinary tradition and every cuisine has its favorite herb. These are the very same herbs we use in the preparation of our marinades.

Rub into the surface of any meat an hour before grilling, broiling, pan-frying or baking. Rubs are mixes of spices, herbs, seasonings that are used to give a base flavor to meat. Our collection includes a range of international and Latin American dry rubs and marinades, the same ones which our butchers marinate your meat with.
