What THOMY ketchup is
Ketchup is a thick tomato condiment seasoned with sugar, vinegar and spices. The THOMY recipe builds on tomato puree from concentrate (50%) refined with table vinegar (13%) for the characteristic tangy lift, modified starch for body and xanthan gum for a uniform pour that does not separate in service.
The THOMY brand and its history
THOMY is one of Switzerland's most iconic food brands. Its roots go back to 1907, when Fritz Thomi-Schaad founded Helvetia in Langenthal and started the first industrial-scale table-mustard production in the country. The brand was registered as Thomy in 1930, and in 1934 it pioneered the aluminium tube for mild mustard, a world first. THOMY has been part of Nestle since 1971 and today supplies professional kitchens across Switzerland through the Nestle Professional range.
Sensory profile
Bright tomato-red colour, glossy and homogeneous. The taste opens on ripe tomato sweetness and closes on a clean vinegar acidity, without aggressive spice. The texture is smooth and coating, ideal both as a table sauce and as a base for composed sauces.

Professional uses
