Toscana Fire Rub — All You Need to Know
Toscana Fire is a BBQ rub with fennel seed, smoked paprika, allspice and cayenne as its signature flavours. The blend is inspired by Tuscan cuisine. This guide explains how to use the rub with chicken, lamb, pork and vegetables.
This is our own Italian-inspired blend, not a single fixed traditional Tuscan recipe. Check the current label for the full ingredients, allergens and dosage.

What can you use Toscana Fire for?
Fennel seed gives the rub its distinctive aroma. Smoked paprika contributes colour and smokiness, allspice adds warm spice notes and cayenne provides heat. You can use this combination in several ways:
- Chicken: thighs, wings or a whole chicken on the rotisserie.
- Lamb: for example, chops or shoulder.
- Pork: tenderloin, chops or neck. Adjust the cooking method to the cut.
- Vegetables: for example, courgette, fennel or peppers, optionally with a thin coating of olive oil.

Dosage
Follow the current product label where possible and adjust the amount to the surface area, the salt content of the rest of your dish and personal taste. The amounts below are starting examples from this guide, not mandatory dosages for every product or cooking method.
- Skinless chicken thighs: 60 grams per 1.5 kilograms of meat as a calculation example; use less if your recipe or label advises it.
- Lamb: apply a thin, even coating and adjust the amount to the chosen cut.
- Pork: 55–65 grams per 1.5 kilograms of meat as a starting example, adjusted to the cut and recipe.
- Vegetables: sprinkle lightly; a thin coating of olive oil can help the rub adhere.
There is no mandatory one- or two-hour resting time after applying the rub. If seasoning in advance, keep raw meat covered in the refrigerator and follow its storage and shelf-life instructions. Measure out a separate working portion of rub so that the remaining supply does not come into contact with raw meat. Avoid burning the spices and check doneness independently of the colour of the outside.
