Burman's Ketchup 38 oz

Burman’s Tomato Ketchup in the 38 oz (1.07kg) squeeze bottle is a classic, family-sized staple known for its traditional sweet-and-tangy profile. As a signature brand for Aldi, it is engineered to match the flavor and viscosity of national leading brands, providing a smooth, pourable texture and a deep red color.

Flavor & Texture Profile

The Burman’s experience is defined by "balanced acidity and a thick, glossy finish":

• Tangy Vinegary Top-Note: A crisp hit of distilled vinegar provides the initial brightness, cutting through the richness of fried foods or grilled meats.

• Sweet Tomato Base: The core flavor is derived from concentrated tomato paste, offering a mellow, sun-ripened sweetness.

• Smooth & Non-Watery: The consistency is designed to be "heavy-bodied," meaning it stays in place on a burger or fries without separating or running.

• Savory Spice Blend: Subtle undertones of onion powder and natural flavorings provide a savory depth that rounds out the sugar and acid.

Core Ingredients

The ingredient list focuses on classic ketchup components:

• Tomato Concentrate: Made from red ripe tomatoes.

• Distilled Vinegar: Provides the essential preservation and tartness.

• High Fructose Corn Syrup & Corn Syrup: The primary sweeteners that give the ketchup its glossy sheen and thick texture.

• Salt: Enhances the savory tomato notes.

• Onion Powder & Natural Flavors: A proprietary blend of spices.

Energy & Nutritional Profile

Ketchup is a low-calorie condiment, though it is primarily composed of sugars. A standard 1 tbsp (17g) serving typically provides:

Key Characteristics

• Value Sizing: The 38 oz bottle is the "standard" large size, offering significantly more volume than the basic 20 oz bottles, making it ideal for large families or summer cookouts.

• Easy-Squeeze Technology: The bottle is made of flexible, BPA-free plastic with a precision-tip cap designed to minimize "ketchup pre-run" (watery separation) and allow for clean dispensing.

• Gluten-Free: Like most traditional ketchups, Burman’s is naturally gluten-free.

• Versatile Utility: Beyond a dipping sauce, its high sugar and acid content make it an excellent base for homemade BBQ sauces, meatloaf glazes, or Thousand Island dressing.

Usage Tip: Because of its high vinegar and salt content, this ketchup acts as a bright "acidic contrast" when paired with savory snacks. If you are enjoying a salty snack like Southern Grove Mixed Nuts or Cashew Halves & Pieces, the tanginess of a ketchup-based dip can help refresh the palate between handfuls of roasted nuts.
