Curtice Brothers: Organic ketchup based on 77% fresh tomatoes from Tuscany

The old and new story behind Curtice Brothers Co.

In 1868, brothers Simeon and Edgar Curtice opened a small grocery store in Rochester, New York, selling fresh fruits and vegetables. They soon began developing sauces and condiments using the fresh produce from their store and created the recipe for their famous Tomato Ketchup, which was said to have the rich flavor of fresh, ripe tomatoes in a bottle. Unfortunately, this brand disappeared around 1940, as did the data on the original recipe. Until in 2015, a group of friends decided to revive authentic tomato ketchup under the Curtice Brothers name, out of dissatisfaction with the stale processed industrial ketchup they encountered throughout their travels.

Tomato ketchup with a soul

Mario Bauer, a modern nomad living in Vienna, wanted to produce an organic ketchup with five like-minded catering professionals and also holiday friends. This journey started by sifting through old cookbooks, vintage magazines and the internet in search of old recipes. After a year, one super recipe was distilled from an entire collection. In 2015, Mario invited his brothers to travel to Vienna and set out his plan in a smoky shisha lounge. They decided to continue the Curtice Brothers story. Then they started cooking, experimenting and tasting together and learned how to squeeze more than 15 tomatoes into one small bottle. What emerged was no ordinary tomato ketchup, but a world sauce with a soul.


Six friends traveled a total of 9,000 km in 2015 for a good steak and chips. Ehren flew over from New York, Andreas from London, Enrico from Zurich and Mario and Philipp from Luxembourg, while Christoph was stuck on the autobahn to Vienna. The trunk full of organic tomatoes, onions, garlic and red chili peppers from Tuscany. The following days were spent preparing the ketchup for the aforementioned steak. And a company was founded: Curtice Brothers.
