Ketchup from the fish canning factory: La Perle des Dieux reinvents the classic with French tomatoes and cider vinegar.
You probably know the house from Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie for its sardines. This bottle contains no fish, but rather what goes with it. 250 g, and the lion's share of that is tomato: 70.62% tomato purée from the French harvest. The ingredients list has ten items and contains no thickeners, flavorings, or preservatives.
Instead of the usual distilled vinegar, cider vinegar is on the list – this takes the edge off the acidity and brings in an apple note. Add onion, garlic, and salt from Guérande, and as spices nutmeg, cardamom, and coriander. That is the departure from the supermarket shelf: less vinegar sharpness, but a warm, almost Christmas-like spice note in the background. With 16.7 g of sugar per 100 g, it still remains a ketchup and not a tomato chutney.
Production: The manufacturer's website lists the recipe, but no information about the process – how long it is cooked down and whether the tomatoes come from a specific region is not stated there.
La Perle des Dieux recommends it with Fish & Chips, breaded fish, fried squid, and fish croquettes – and expressly with their Germon tuna, the white tuna. With us, it goes just as well with the sardines to fry in Beillevaire barrel butter, which come from the same house.
Good to know: Cider vinegar and Sel de Guérande
Industrial ketchup is almost always acidified with distilled vinegar, which tastes purely sour and contributes nothing else. Cider vinegar is made from fermented apple must and brings its own fruitiness. Both ingredients, the vinegar and the salt from Guérande, come from the same Atlantic coast where the cannery is also located. The ketchup thus remains geographically in the neighborhood of the sardines.
