Portland Ketchup Company Organic Ketchup
$22.47Pros
- Amazing flavor and consistency, not an afterthought like regular ketchup
- Water, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, salt, spices. That's it, no high fructose corn syrup.
- Good packaging - glass bottle rather than plastic
Cons
- If you don't live in Oregon, it's pretty expensive for a condiment
- If you have kids and they're used to regular ketchup, they may not like this
I would recommend not ever trying this ketchup. I’ve always been a heavy ketchup user, and somewhat recently tried the Portland Ketchup Company version of the red stuff during a trip to Oregon. During the trip, I was absolutely amazed at how robust this ketchup is. I just didn’t know ketchup could have such an appealing flavor and consistency. It was really a condiment game-changer.
Once we got home, I found myself disinterested in regular ketchup. “Why is this Heinz so liquidy and boring?!” I’d rant to anyone within earshot. I found myself comparing all ketchup to Portland Ketchup Company…and nothing was measuring up. Finally, I had to start researching if it was even possible to get so far from Oregon. At $7 a bottle, it does seem Amazon is the least expensive way to get it shipped. I feel like a maniac buying $7 ketchup…but it’s now a vice that I have to accept about myself.
My fries are not happy without this thick, flavorful ketchup. I will say this though, although my wife and I love it, our kids do not. They still insist on regular Heinz ketchup.
They also sell organic mustard, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. I haven’t tried those, though. Based on the ketchup, I imagine they are awesome.
