Some products disappear from the range – and yet remain in memory. That was exactly the case with a good truffle ketchup. Many long-standing customers of American Heritage still remember the popular truffle ketchup from Stonewall Kitchen that we carried in our range many years ago. Since then, we have been asked time and again: Will there ever be a really good truffle ketchup again?
Now we can finally say: Yes. With the Truffle Ketchup from Easton Reed a special favorite is back – reinterpreted, carefully selected, and with exactly the fine truffle note that turns a simple dish into a little gourmet moment.
Whether at our trade fairs or in our shop in Augsburg: the truffle ketchup is one of those products that immediately spark curiosity. Many customers try it, smile – and know exactly what they want to serve it with at home: fries, burgers, steak, baked potatoes, sandwiches, egg dishes, or grilled vegetables.
That is perhaps the nicest thing about this ketchup: It is special, but not complicated. Elegant, but not pretentious. A familiar classic gains new depth through fine truffle oil – and makes the very dishes you enjoy eating anyway even more exciting.
What makes the Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup special
A truffle ketchup must be able to do more than just sound like truffle. It needs a good tomato base, harmonious seasoning, and a truffle note that is present but does not overpower everything.
With the Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup this starts with selected ingredients: tomato pieces, tomato paste, cane sugar, vinegar, paprika, garlic, onion, and fine truffle oil. Especially important: The truffle oil is produced in small batches by a well-known truffle manufacturer and contains real truffle. This creates not an artificially heavy truffle note, but an aromatic, well-rounded flavor with fine depth.
The ketchup remains what a good ketchup should be: fruity, savory, slightly sweet, and versatile. On the other hand, the truffle note makes it particularly elegant and delicious. That is exactly what fits the Easton Reed philosophy: good ingredients, lovingly conceived recipes, and products that turn simple dishes into special moments of enjoyment.
Crafted for the Love of Food – this thought describes the truffle ketchup particularly well. It is not a product just for special occasions, but a little touch of refinement for everyday life.
Why truffle and ketchup go so well together
Ketchup thrives on tomato, sweetness, acidity, and spice. Truffle adds a warm, earthy, and slightly nutty aroma to this. This combination works particularly well because it connects two worlds: familiar everyday cuisine and fine dining.
Truffle ketchup shows its strength especially with dishes that have roasted aromas. Fries, potato wedges, burgers, steak, grilled vegetables, or mushrooms gain more depth from it. It also goes excellently with eggs, sandwiches, or creamy dips.
The taste is not loud or overloaded. Rather, the truffle note complements the fruity tomato base and makes the ketchup a bit more mature, elegant, and versatile.
Back because our customers asked for it
Many customers have known American Heritage for years as the place for special delicacies, American classics, and selected brands like Stonewall Kitchen. Precisely for this reason, there were always products that were asked for over a long period – even when they were no longer available.
A good truffle ketchup was exactly one of those. The former truffle ketchup from Stonewall Kitchen had many fans, and the question arose again and again whether we would eventually be able to offer something comparable again.
With Easton Reed, we now finally have a truffle ketchup that meets our standards: selected ingredients, a fine truffle note, genuine versatility, and a taste that immediately makes you want to pair it with something.
For us, this ketchup is therefore not just a new flavor. It is a product many customers have been waiting for – and one that has already shown at trade fairs and in the shop how great the joy is about its return.
What does truffle ketchup go with?
The Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup is more versatile than one might think at first. Of course, it goes wonderfully with fries and burgers. But it becomes truly exciting beyond that.
With fries and potatoes
This is the classic. Crispy fries, sweet potato fries, potato wedges, baked potatoes, or fried potatoes immediately get more character with truffle ketchup. It is especially nice with parmesan, sea salt, and fresh herbs.
With burgers and sandwiches
A good burger thrives on balance: bun, patty, cheese, roasted aromas, freshness, and sauce. Truffle ketchup adds an elegant, savory component to this. It goes particularly well with cheddar, Gruyère, caramelized onions, arugula, mushrooms, or a vegetarian portobello patty.
With steak and grilled dishes
Truffle ketchup is not a classic BBQ sauce – and that is exactly what makes it interesting. For steak frites, grilled vegetables, halloumi, mushrooms, or small grilled skewers, it brings a fine gourmet note to the plate.
With egg dishes
Scrambled eggs, omelets, a breakfast brioche, or an egg sandwich get a special savory depth with a small spoonful of truffle ketchup. This is a nice, uncomplicated idea, especially for a Sunday breakfast or brunch.
As a base for dips
With mayonnaise, crème fraîche, yogurt, or vegan mayo, the ketchup turns into a creamy truffle dip in no time at all. Ideal for fries, chips, vegetable sticks, wraps, or small appetizers.
Tip for all ketchup lovers: In the following video, the various Easton Reed ketchup varieties are presented. This will give you a direct impression of the texture, taste, and special features of the individual variants.
Recipe ideas with Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup
1. Truffle fries with parmesan
A simple recipe that always works – crispy, savory, and with a touch of bistro flair.
Ingredients for 2 people:
500 g fries or potato wedges
2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
a little sea salt
fresh parsley or chives
Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup
Preparation:
Prepare the fries or wedges in the oven, air fryer, or deep fryer until crispy. Immediately after cooking, toss with a little sea salt, parmesan, and fresh herbs. Serve the Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup separately as a dip.
Tip:
It turns out especially well if the fries are very crispy and the parmesan is added just before serving. That way, a simple classic becomes a little gourmet moment.
2. Gourmet burger with truffle ketchup, cheese, and arugula
This burger is uncomplicated but immediately feels more special due to the truffle ketchup.
Ingredients for 2 burgers:
2 burger buns
2 burger patties, alternatively vegetable or mushroom patty
2 slices of cheddar, Gruyère, or mountain cheese
1 small red onion
1 handful of arugula
a little mayonnaise
Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup
a little butter or oil for frying
Preparation:
Slice the onion into fine rings and slowly sauté in a little butter or oil until soft and slightly caramelized. Fry or grill the patties and let the cheese melt on top briefly. Toast the buns and spread the bottom halves with a little mayonnaise. Add the patty, cheese, arugula, and onions. Finally, add the Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup and close the burger.
Tip:
Truffle ketchup pairs especially well with strong cheese and caramelized onions. For a vegetarian variation, a large portobello mushroom makes an excellent patty.
3. Steak frites with truffle ketchup
A French-inspired classic that gets a new touch with truffle ketchup.
Ingredients for 2 people:
2 small steaks
500 g fries or potato wedges
sea salt
black pepper
a little oil or butter
Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup
Preparation:
Fry steaks to your liking and let them rest for a few minutes. Prepare fries or potato wedges until crispy. Season everything with sea salt and pepper. Serve the truffle ketchup separately – do not pour it over the steak, but serve as a fine dip on the side.
Tip:
The ketchup should not dominate here. A small spoonful next to the steak and fries is enough to give the dish a special depth.
4. Creamy truffle ketchup dip
This dip is ready in just a few minutes and goes well with fries, chips, vegetables, sandwiches, or wraps.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup

a splash of lemon juice
a little black pepper
Preparation:
Stir all ingredients until smooth and let sit briefly. Adjust to taste with a little more truffle ketchup or lemon juice.

600 g small potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
sea salt
rosemary or thyme
Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup

The truffle ketchup provides exactly the savory note here that turns a simple breakfast roll into a small brunch dish.
A ketchup for special everyday moments
The Easton Reed Truffle Ketchup is not a ketchup you only pull off the shelf for special occasions. It is rather a little invitation to enjoy everyday dishes more consciously.
A plate of fries becomes more exciting. A burger gains more depth. Baked potatoes seem more sophisticated. A sandwich becomes more aromatic. That is exactly where its strength lies: it doesn’t make simple things complicated, it makes them better.
For many of our customers, truffle ketchup is also associated with fond memories. We are therefore all the more pleased that we can once again offer a ketchup that fills this gap – with Easton Reed, selected ingredients, and a flavor that has already found many fans at trade fairs and in our shop.
