Start with the ingredients.
Spices, brownulated sugar, espresso powder, salt, mustard seed.
Transcribed from the original back panel; the current official full list agrees. Mustard seed is an ingredient. The broader shared-facility advisory is a separate statement. The small serving declares 0 g sugars despite brownulated sugar in the ingredient list; this is not a sugar-free claim. Original evidence retained privately
Facility allergen advisory. Produced in a facility that also uses milk, soy, coconut, celery, mustard, sesame seeds, wheat, gluten and sulfites. This is separate from the ingredient list and does not mean all are ingredients. Original evidence retained privately

02 · In the kitchen
Cooking with it
The side label suggests beef, elk, pork, chili, venison, nuts, veal, steak, fish and butter. Spiceology’s molasses grilled steak recipe pairs Cowboy Crust with molasses. These are maker suggestions, not Gaucho test results.
Our kitchen notes
No Gaucho cooking or tasting test has been recorded for this jar. For a future trial, record the food weight, blend amount, added salt, cooking method and taste.

The photographed package

- Add a complete front-of-jar photograph if available.
- Confirm photographed store/branch, capture date and actual amount paid.
- Record a cooking trial with measured food and blend amounts, added salt and tasting notes.
- Identify production facility, ingredient origins and any lot/date code.
