This sauce takes me straight home. Every Kiwi kid grew up with a jar of tomato relish sitting somewhere in the kitchen. Your mum or nan would spend the summer bottling it, ready for winter, thick, rich, and sweet from the tomatoes grown out back. BLAK EMBER is my version of that memory. built for today’s table but carrying yesterday’s heart.
Fresh tomato brings sweetness, curry gives warmth, and the malt vinegar cuts straight through the middle to pull it all together. The red habanero sits quietly at first, then builds with purpose, leaving that slow, confident burn that earns its name. It hits best with roasted vegetables, think pumpkin, cauliflower, or aubergine, but works just as well spooned over chicken, fish, or stirred through rice.
In 2025, we’ve decided to discontinue the full production line of BLAK EMBER. Instead, we’ll bring it back in small summer batches, when tomatoes are at their best. The way it was always meant to taste.
INGREDIENTS (Allergens in capitals)
Tomato (Chopped Tomatoes, Tomato Juice, Citric Acid) (66%), onion, brown sugar, malt vinegar (BARLEY, malt extract 5% acidity GLUTEN – BARLEY), red habanero (3%), water, salt, garlic, rapeseed oil, madras curry powder (ground coriander, ground turmeric, MUSTARD powder, bengal gram (black chickpea), ground cumin, ground chilli, ground fenugreek, ground black pepper, garlic powder, iodised salt, ground fennel), thyme, oregano, bay leaf, xanthan gum.This sauce takes me straight home.
