🔥 More Than Classic BBQ Sauce

Where Korean BBQ Meets Smoky Spice

La BBQ is YARE's take on a BBQ sauce for anyone who finds classic sweet and smoky flavors just a little too boring on their own.

Inspiration from gochujang and hoisin adds Asian depth. Fermented soybean paste provides a rich umami kick, sesame adds nutty notes, and maple syrup brings a pleasant sweetness. Cumin and chili add spicy accents.

Despite its intense flavor, La BBQ is surprisingly mild: heat level 0.5 out of 4. Instead of burning heat, you get a sauce with plenty of depth and that sweet, spicy, smoky Korean BBQ character that will have you reaching for seconds in no time.

🥟 Dumplings? Absolutely!

La BBQ is a fantastic match for crispy fried dumplings or gyoza. The savory filled dumplings meet sweetness, smoke, and umami—top with spring onions and sesame, and you're done.

The sauce also works perfectly as a glaze for chicken, salmon, eggplant, or grilled meat. Or drizzle it over a rice bowl, in a bao bun, or on a burger.

Note: Shake well before use. Store at room temperature. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 3 months.

🔥 About YARE

From Barcelona to Venezuela to Zurich

YARE was founded by Alfredo and Jan—two friends whose journey together began in Barcelona. Later, their paths crossed again in Zurich. Their shared passion for great food, intense flavors, and sauces with character eventually gave birth to YARE.

The brand's soul, however, reaches all the way to Venezuela. YARE is inspired by the Diablos Danzantes de Yare—a traditional Venezuelan celebration filled with colorful masks, dance, energy, and fire. This is exactly the spirit that defines the brand: vibrant, bold, surprising, and full of sabor.

For YARE, it's not about simply making a sauce as hot as possible. Flavor comes first. Fresh herbs, fruits, chilies, umami, and unusual ingredients are combined to create sauces that give a dish a completely new character.

And the best part for us at Great Taste: YARE comes straight from Zurich. Latin American inspiration and international food expertise meet a young local Swiss brand—handmade, vegan, and full of personality.

🔥 Zurich made. Latin inspired. Full of sabor.

💡 Silvie's Tip

Be sure to try La BBQ with crispy dumplings. Top with sesame, spring onions, and a little lime—it's incredibly good. And if you like Korean BBQ, be sure to try the sauce as a glaze on eggplant or chicken.
