Wild & Fruitful To-Matcha Ketchup has been developed by the British-based small business through a partnership with Amazon UK to bring an unexpectedly umami condiment to shoppers this season.
The product starts off with a base of rich, tangy tomatoes and pairs it with 100% natural ingredients including Japanese matcha for an umami taste profile. The product is thus ideal for dipping and dish finishing, while also being great for use in a variety of cooking recipes to elevate the taste in new, unexpected ways.
Founder Jake Winter spoke on the Wild & Fruitful To-Matcha Ketchup and the partnership with Amazon saying, "Wild & Fruitful places taste above all else with any product that we launch, so when we discussed the prospect of To-Matcha Ketchup with Amazon, we were excited about the challenge! As a nation, Britain loves ketchup and matcha has become an everyday pick-me-up for so many people across the country. With To-Matcha Ketchup, we’ve brought the two ingredients together in a way that is surprisingly delicious – it’s the perfect talking point for foodies this Christmas!”
