Curtice Brothers Original Ketchup

Curtice Brothers is a brand with a rich, dual history. Originally founded in 1868 in Rochester, New York, by brothers Simeon and Edgar Curtice, it was a pioneer in the American canning industry and one of the first brands to market tomato ketchup globally. While the original U.S. company effectively ceased operations in its traditional form by the mid-20th century, the brand was revitalized in 2014 by a group of European entrepreneurs led by Mario Bauer.

The modern incarnation of Curtice Brothers focuses on premium, organic condiments. Although the brand celebrates its New York roots (as seen on the label), the current business is headquartered in Vienna, Austria. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Italy to leverage high-quality Mediterranean tomatoes, aligning with the brand's '100% Natural' and 'Crafted' philosophy. Today, the brand is owned by the Austrian entity Curtice Brothers GmbH, which has successfully positioned the product in over 30 countries as a high-end alternative to mass-market condiments.
