Cowboy Ketchup

Cowboy Ketchup with Jalapeño heat from the Wild West

Old Texas Cowboy Ketchup is a fruity, spicy ketchup with red jalapeños – tomatoey, zesty, with a gentle heat. Not your standard sweet ketchup from a squeeze bottle, but a tomato ketchup with character and a Texan wink.

Cowboy Ketchup is a savory spiced ketchup that combines familiar tomato sweetness with the heat of red jalapeños. Old Texas crafts it using 53 percent tomato purée, brown cane sugar, and 14.5 percent jalapeño peppers. A dollop on the edge of your plate turns fries and burgers into a little ride through the prairie.

Tomatoey, zesty, with a gentle heat

First you taste the ripe tomato, fruity and round, then the heat of the jalapeño slowly follows – never brutal, more like a pleasant tingle that makes you crave a third bite after the second. Anyone who knows spicy ketchup will guess it: there is real chili in here, not just a hint of pepper. The balance between sweet and spicy is perfectly maintained.

Cane sugar gives this spiced ketchup its fine sweetness, distilled vinegar its freshness, and garlic and onions its hearty depth. This makes it rounder and bolder than an ordinary tomato ketchup – fruity, piquant, and full-bodied. The red color glows as bright as a sunset over the plains. A ketchup that doesn't hide.

With fries, burgers, and hot dogs

Cowboy Ketchup loves everything that usually calls for ketchup and makes it a bit more exciting. Fries, burgers, and hot dogs are its best friends.

It also makes a great impression on scrambled eggs, on a sandwich, or as a dip for crispy chicken nuggets. Its place is on a cheeseburger, where the jalapeño heat wakes up the melted cheese. And for those who love Tex-Mex, add a spoonful over nachos or into your beans. Even day-old fries get a wake-up call from a quick dollop.

If you prefer a deep, smoky flavor while grilling, set the Original BBQ Sauce on the table next to it or browse through our grilling collection. That way, everyone at the table has their favorite note close at hand.

A 170-year-old recipe from cowboy country

Old Texas tells the story of the Old West, when cowboys drove their cattle herds for hundreds of miles from El Paso to San Antonio and a good piece of meat always demanded a spicy accompaniment. Perhaps more than any other region, Texas stands for barbecue itself, and a fiery ketchup is naturally a staple on the table. Every recipe from the brand still rests on this 170-year-old foundation today.

Pure ingredients instead of artificial flavors, honest heat instead of gimmicks – just as Garry Sullivan, the chef behind the Old Texas recipes, once demonstrated in sunny California. Today, the brand is represented by Sydney & Frances from Cologne, bringing these American classics to us in Germany.

"Awaken your inner cowboy," winks Old Texas – meaning the courage for bold flavor. If you like this style, you can find all Old Texas sauces side-by-side in our shop.

Stir a spoonful into ground meat

We like to put the 250 ml bottle on the table while grilling so everyone can decide for themselves how much fire their sausage can handle. Stirring a spoonful into ground meat adds a piquant kick to meatballs or Bolognese, and it provides a spicy note in homemade cocktail sauce.

Kids usually prefer it milder – a small drop will do for them, while the adults can help themselves more generously. Once opened, the ketchup stays good in the refrigerator for several weeks. This is how the Wild West tastes between two burger buns.
