Mutti Original Ketchup in a glass bottle

A rich tomato story in every drop

Mutti Original Ketchup follows a classic Mutti recipe built around the generous flavour and natural sweetness of 100% Italian tomatoes, ripened under the summer sun. It takes 2.2 kg of fresh tomatoes to make just 1 kg of ketchup, a concentration you can see in its warm red colour and taste in every spoonful.

Smooth and naturally thick, its ripe tomato sweetness is lifted by wine vinegar and a subtle touch of spice, creating a rounded flavour with just enough brightness to keep every mouthful lively.

Ready to dip or spoon straight from the bottle, it brings unmistakable tomato character to every comfort food, from crisp fries and burgers to grilled vegetables and sandwiches.

Selecting only the best tomatoes

Ripe tomatoes are carefully selected and washed. Then heated to over 90°C and centrifuged to separate the juice from skins, seeds and pulp. The juice is gradually concentrated, becoming a rich double concentrated tomato paste.

Adding the best ingredients and aromas

The concentrated tomato is blended with the other ingredients in the Mutti recipe, bringing sweetness, acidity and seasoning into balance while keeping tomato at the heart of the flavour.

Quality, sealed in

The ketchup is then heated, pasteurised and bottled, ready to bring its smooth texture and generous tomato character to the table.

How to use

Cooking Tips

Enjoy Mutti Original Ketchup just as it is to appreciate its texture and flavour. In cooking add to barbecue sauces or marinades for body, sweetness and gentle acidity. It also works as a glaze for roasted or grilled dishes brushed on at the end for a glossy finish.

Unique touch

Using 2.2 kg of fresh tomatoes for every kilogram of finished ketchup creates a recipe with remarkable tomato presence: dense yet smooth, with a deep colour and naturally generous in flavour, without the need for preservatives or thickeners.

Ideal pairings

Spoon it alongside golden fries, burgers and hot dogs, or serve it with grilled meat. Its balance of sweetness, acidity and gentle spice also works beautifully with chicken or vegetable fritters, while a spoonful can bring tomato depth to homemade dressings and glazes.

Mutti Tomato Ketchup Original is made with 100% Italian round tomatoes. Their full flavour and balanced sweetness make them particularly well suited to a classic ketchup, where the taste of ripe tomato remains clearly recognisable in every spoonful.

Does Mutti Tomato Ketchup Original contain preservatives or thickeners?

What can I use Mutti Tomato Ketchup Original for?

It is perfect with classics such as fries, burgers and sandwiches, but ketchup can do much more than sit on the side of the plate. Its combination of concentrated tomato flavour, sweetness and acidity also makes it a useful ingredient for barbecue sauces, glazes, marinades and homemade dips.

Can I put ketchup on pasta?

Technically, you can. Emotionally, we may need a moment as we feel it is our duty to suggest a slightly more delicious alternative. Pasta deserves a sauce made for pasta.

That is exactly why we created Mutti Pasta Sauces: rich, balanced recipes made with quality tomatoes and carefully selected ingredients, designed to bring authentic flavours to the table with almost no effort. Simply warm the sauce for a few minutes, add it to freshly drained pasta, toss and serve.

It is nearly as quick as reaching for the ketchup bottle… but we think your pasta will appreciate the difference. And so will any Italian at the table.
