Khmer Ketchup Sauce

The creation of our Khmer Ketchup Sauce stems from a deep desire to offer a high-quality alternative to industrial sauces. By producing our own ketchup, we have chosen to promote an ethical and sustainable model, directly sourced from our farm in Kampot, where we grow our local ingredients with respect for organic farming principles.

This sauce has been crafted to satisfy the whole family, using carefully selected premium ingredients. Our commitment to a low sugar content aligns with our approach to promoting a balanced diet, while preserving the authenticity of the natural flavours of our ingredients.

By choosing our ketchup, you are opting for a culinary option that goes beyond a simple condiment, providing an authentic taste experience while supporting environmentally friendly local farming. Each bottle embodies our dedication to quality, sustainability, and the exquisite taste of our Kampot-grown ingredients.

Our original Khmer Ketchup Sauce recipe stands out with the addition of unique ingredients that reflect the richness of Cambodian cuisine. Using ripe tomatoes, cane sugar, and vinegar, we have preserved the essence of the classic ketchup recipe, offering a perfect balance between sweet and savoury.

To add our distinctive Khmer touch, we have incorporated elements that evoke the authentic flavours of Cambodia. Paprika adds a slightly spicy note, while vintage Kampot pepper offers depth of flavour and a characteristic aroma. Paddy herb, a hallmark of Cambodian cuisine, brings a unique herbal dimension to the recipe.

The distinctive element of our Khmer Ketchup sauce lies in the addition of cassia cinnamon, specially smoked for this recipe. This cinnamon adds a subtle smoky nuance, offering a unique sensory experience that highlights the creativity of our interpretation.

Khmer Ketchup Sauce, free from artificial colours and preservatives, is naturally preserved. To maintain its freshness and authentic flavours, we recommend shaking the bottle before each use. Once opened, be sure to store it in the refrigerator to guarantee its quality and extend its shelf life. This simple tip preserves the delicacy of its aromas while ensuring an optimal taste experience with each serving.

The history of ketchup spans several centuries and has undergone various culinary evolutions. Originally, ketchup was a fermented fish-based sauce, first created in Asia, notably in China. British settlers discovered this sauce during their travels and introduced it to Europe.

Over time, the recipe evolved, and ketchup as we know it today emerged in the early 19th century in North America. Tomatoes replaced fish as the main ingredient, and the sauce became popular in the United States.

Our Khmer Ketchup Sauce draws inspiration from this rich history while incorporating distinctive elements of Cambodian cuisine. Ripe tomatoes, palm sugar, black Kampot pepper, and other quality ingredients come together to create a unique and exquisite interpretation of ketchup, offering a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.

Each bottle of our Khmer Ketchup Sauce carries on this culinary tradition, reimagined with a distinctive Khmer twist.
