Information

Besætt Ketchup: craft ketchup on Norwegian tomatoes

Ketchup made from fresh tomatoes grown at Hanasand Gård on Rennesøy, tomatoes that would otherwise have been thrown away for being too large, too small or too crooked for the shop shelf. The result tastes of tomato first and sugar second, not the other way round. Cumin, celery salt and soy sauce sit underneath and give it a spicing an ordinary ketchup does not have.

Norwegian surplus tomatoes
Spiced, not only sweet
Umami from soy sauce
260 grams of craft ketchup

The difference from an industrial ketchup starts with the raw material. A standard tomato ketchup is built on concentrate that has been boiled down and shipped a long way, and the sugar is what carries most of the flavour. This one is made from whole, fresh tomatoes from a Norwegian grower, and the spice base does the rest of the work: cumin brings an earthiness, the celery salt brings a salted bitterness, and the gluten free soy sauce adds an umami that makes the tomato deeper. Yellow cayenne and habanero are on the ingredient list, but they are used as seasoning rather than as heat. The sugar content sits on a par with an ordinary ketchup, and so it should: this is a ketchup, not a reduced sugar version.

Pro tip!
Stir 1 tbsp of ketchup into 500 grams of minced meat next time you make burgers or meatballs. The acidity from the vinegar, the sugar and the salt work as a very fast marinade inside the mix, and the sugar also helps the crust when it hits the pan. You will not recognise the ketchup as ketchup in the finished burger, you will only notice that it is juicier and that the sear has more colour. The same move works in sausage mixes and meatballs.

Features

  • Norwegian surplus tomatoes: Made from tomatoes at Hanasand Gård that missed the retail sizes but are just as ripe and just as good.
  • Spiced, not only sweet: Cumin, celery salt and soy sauce give a breadth you will not find in a standard ketchup.
  • Cayenne and habanero as seasoning: They are on the list, but they are there for the aroma. The ketchup is mild.
  • A craft product: Made in small batches at Besætt in Stavanger, not on a plant built for thousands of tonnes.
  • A good base in cooking: It works as well in a glaze, in a meat mix and in a dressing as it does beside a plate of fries.

How to use

  1. Shake the bottle before use.
  2. Use it as ordinary ketchup on burgers, sausages and fries.
  3. Mix it with mayonnaise for a quick dressing, one part ketchup to three parts mayonnaise.
  4. Brush it onto ribs or chicken wings for the last twenty minutes, so the sugar can caramelise without burning.
  5. Keep the bottle cool after opening, and keep the spout clean.

FAQ Frequently asked questions

How much sugar is in this ketchup?

21.3 grams per 100 grams, which is roughly 3.6 grams in a tablespoon. That is a little under a teaspoon of sugar per spoonful of ketchup, and about the same as an ordinary supermarket tomato ketchup. This is not a reduced sugar ketchup and it does not try to be one. The difference is that the sweetness has a spice base to play against instead of standing alone.

Is it hot?

No. Yellow cayenne and habanero are on the ingredient list, but they are used in small amounts as seasoning rather than as heat. You notice a little warmth right at the back if you go looking for it, otherwise not. If you want a ketchup with clear heat, the Spicy Ketchup from the same range is the one you want.

What is the difference between this and a supermarket ketchup?

Two things. The raw material is whole, fresh Norwegian tomatoes rather than concentrate, and the spicing is entirely different. Cumin, celery salt and soy sauce give an earthiness and an umami a standard ketchup does not have, and that makes the tomato easier to taste.

Which allergens does it contain?

Three of the fourteen declarable ones: celery from the celery salt, soy from the soy sauce and sulphites from the apple cider vinegar. The soy sauce used is gluten free. Always check the label on the bottle before serving to anyone with an allergy.

Why are the tomatoes surplus tomatoes?

Because a Norwegian grower is left with large quantities of perfectly good tomatoes that are too large, too small or too crooked to be sold loose. They are just as ripe and just as good, they simply look wrong. Besætt buys them and cooks them into ketchup, so they end up on your bread instead of on the compost heap.
