We Are Proud New Mexicans.

For centuries we have made our living from the land, herding cattle, growing pecans and creating magnificent pieces of pottery and jewelry. It hasn’t been easy but we continue to beat the odds, practicing the traditional while also evolving our art, culture and cuisine and infusing it into everything we do. We value our ranching and farming neighbors, our artists and artisans, and sustain their livelihoods by buying authentic products. Each of our New Mexico True Certified partners has a unique story to share. Learn more about their families and their roots, why they do what they do and how their products maintain the integrity of our state. Support New Mexicans. Buy authentic. Buy local.

AlbuKirky Seasonings

AlbuKirky Seasonings is a BBQ rub and sauce company owned by Kirk Muncrief and Cheryl Valadez in Albuquerque

AlbuKirky Seasonings is a BBQ rub and sauce company owned by Kirk Muncrief and Cheryl Valadez in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kirk is a regular guy with a passion for fire and meat. For years he enjoyed bringing these elements together in his own backyard sharing his grilled and smoked culinary creations with friends and family. To further elevate his dishes, he perfected a Red Chile BBQ Rub that celebrated the union of meat & flame and showcased the glorious flavors of New Mexico in a most delicious way. In 2010, Kirk and Cheryl decided to share this amazing spice blend with others, so they created AlbuKirky Seasonings.

Today the company carries six spice blends, three BBQ sauces and two chile jellies. Each product contains high quality ingredients including the finest New Mexican Green Chile and Red Chile. They pack a little heat and a lot of flavors and are guaranteed to breathe new life into every dish whether the cooking is happening at the grill or in the kitchen.

Their rubs are gluten free, with no added MSG or caking agents. They're also big advocates for supporting local, so every part of their process takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They use local companies for all their production needs.  They believe in the power of "scratch-made" and the magic of sharing a home cooked meal with loved ones.
