Not made from actual cats! This Ketchup is a tribute to our dear late cat Benny who will be sorely missed.

This is our take on a fermented Ketchup, smokey and bright, dip your chips in this or slather it over your bacon sandwiches, it will go down a treat!

A tribute to our old boy Benny

After our initial launch of our Original sauce and our 3 Limited edition sauces in December 2024, and then our subsequent launch of our Original Mild sauce in February 2025, we wanted to tone down the spice even further! Our stall always attracts families with young kids, probably due to our little agent of chaos Amelia helping to flog our wares, or maybe because we now place a bowl of tortilla chips on our stall for customers to try our sauces with. We found that the kids were most of the time left out of the sauce trying experience, since our sauces would blow their little pallets!

We wanted to be able to craft a sauce that could be used with all meals, at breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, something that everyone can enjoy, and mainly something that our child Amelia would actually want to eat, if we could crack that, we knew we would have something on great on our hands. So we set to work to create the our own take on Ketchup, So our Catsup was born! 🪄We have worked so hard to get the flavour profile right to emulate the tart sweetness of ketchup, while also adding a touch of The Sauce Forges signature fermented edge. This Ketchup is bright, smokey, and distinctly a ketchup - it actually tastes like ketchup! Throughout our refining process we have been eating this with eggs, bacon, chips, all the toddler foods you can imagine.

We had an initial test run of 12 bottles, that sold at a market in Hastings back in May, safe to say they sold out within the first two hours of opening! We knew we had to come back and make more! We are now so excited to share it will you, and expect to see this as another evergreen product you can buy from us at markets, or here online!

🪄🍅 How to enjoy Catsup

You may notice that this ketchup is a little bit darker and slightly courser than your average off the shelf Ketchup, don't be dismayed this sauce is smokey and bright still packing that quintessential ketchup flavour. This sauce was lacto-fermented in our home kitchen and finished with care by our very own hands.

Recommended Food Pairings

• Burgers & Breakfast Baps - Swap your usual ketchup for something with real bite—Catsup adds smoky depth and tomatoey umami to burgers, sausages, and bacon butties.
• Chips & Wedges - The perfect dip for chunky chips, loaded fries or potato wedges. A little sweet, a little sharp, and a lot more exciting than anything in a squeezy bottle.
• BBQ Meats & Plant-Based Grills - Brush over ribs, or grilled veg skewers—Catsup caramelises beautifully and cuts through rich, fatty flavours with balance.
• Every toddler foodstuff imaginable - We have carefully crafted the flavour profile of this sauce to match the toddler pallet, our 5 year loves it, so we hope yours will too!
