What makes us

We are spice blends for creative kitchen rebels. We are full-on Flavour. For backyard barbecue pioneers, for midweek teatime heroes, for intrepid flavour explorers with a taste for the real deal. Explore the world through flavour.

What Makes Us

"We are looking to elevate the home cooking experience whether that be indoors during a busy week or outdoors with friends and family.

Our mission is to help home cooks re-create authentic dishes that evoke powerful food memories through the smells and tastes they may have encountered on holidays or even in restaurants.

The Angus & Oink team is dedicated to full flavour and giving people as authentic an experience as we can deliver through our blends. We’re proud to supply our products for people in the UK, Europe and most recently North America. Our food service clients range from professional chefs, offshore installations, restaurant groups and butchers."

Scott & Mailissa

Complex flavours. Simple cooking.

We believe that you don’t have to be a chef to shine in the kitchen. You just need the right attitude, and a punch of flavour. We bring you real spice blends we’ve tasted on our travels that zing with true flavour.

When we develop a blend, we start with memories: the heat of the flame, the smell of woodsmoke, the anticipation of spice on the tongue. Then we look for an evocative scent, for initial flavour, for the way it cooks, and how it holds in your mouth, even after the last bite. We seek authenticity, and we never compromise.

From our family to yours

Scott and Malissa have travelled the world together, living and working, cooking and eating across South America, the Middle East, parts of Asia and Europe. Along the way, they developed a love for cooking and especially with fire: for barbecue and coals and open flames, for the myriad styles of fire cooking, cuts of meat, chillies, seasonings, spices — all loaded with the earthy, richness of woodsmoke.

You can’t beat it. So when Malissa came home to Aberdeenshire in 2015 to have their son, Scott soon followed, with a cunning plan, an empty cowshed, and a bold idea.

We do things our way

We don’t do things by halves. We quickly moved on from three original blends in our cowshed to the multitude of flavours coming out of our dedicated state-of-the-art Aberdeenshire facility. On that journey, we’ve competed at international barbecue contests, created thousands of lockdown home chefs, and are supplying national shops and restaurant groups.

We're barbecue, we're flame, we're fire, we're smoke. We’re a flavour revolution, using real high-quality spices, sourced, packaged and delivered sustainably to banish bland for good.
