When tradition meets innovation in a bottle: that's when magic happens.
Imagine the moment your guests take their first bite - that pause, that raised eyebrow, that inevitable "what is this?" It's the Saint Francis of Assisi Kimchi Ketchup working its alchemy on your table. This isn't just another condiment gathering dust in your pantry; it's your secret weapon for transforming the everyday into the downright delicious.
Apostle, one of New Zealand's most innovative artisan producers, has done what seemed impossible: they've captured the soul-warming complexity of traditional Korean kimchi and married it to the familiar comfort of perfectly balanced tomato ketchup. The result? A sauce that speaks two culinary languages fluently, bringing umami depth and gentle heat to everything it touches.
Why your cooking will never be the same
This is where your burgers graduate from backyard to bistro. Where your chips become conversation starters. Where your cheese toastie earns a standing ovation. The savoury-sweet-tangy trinity hits your palate in waves - first the familiar tomato sweetness, then the fermented complexity of kimchi, finally a subtle warmth that positively demands another bite.
You'll find yourself reaching for it constantly: drizzled on eggs at breakfast, swirled through mayo for the ultimate dipping sauce, glazed over roasted vegetables, or used as a marinade base for chicken that'll have everyone asking for the recipe (your secret's safe with us).
Crafted with purpose, made with pride
Apostle doesn't do shortcuts. Every batch is made in small quantities in New Zealand, where quality ingredients and thoughtful fermentation create layers of flavour that mass-produced sauces simply can't match. This is condiment-making as craft, not commodity.
The 260ml bottle is perfectly sized: substantial enough to become your new pantry staple, compact enough to earn its place in your fridge door alongside the classics.
Perfect for: lifting burgers and hot dogs to the next level, transforming humble chips into something special, adding depth to stir-fries, creating knockout (and super easy) marinades, or simply making Tuesday night dinner feel a bit more exciting.
Once you've tasted how good the familiar can be when it's reimagined with skill and creativity, there's no going back to ordinary.

The Apostle story began when Lydia and Mat, moved to Paekākāriki in 2018. Mat had been experimenting with sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an effort to connect with their new community they started selling Mat’s homemade creations at the village market.
Encouraged by an overwhelmingly positive response, they turned their hobby into a business at the end of 2019. Combining Mat’s love of crafting unique sauces with Lydia’s background in graphic design, Apostle was launched.
Using high-quality ingredients like organic apple cider vinegar and cold-pressed, New Zealand rapeseed oil or locally grown chillies and Kawakawa from their garden. Flavours are inspired by the wonderfully diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa. A melting pot of different cultures and styles of cuisine, blending the very best of local flavours to make every dish one to enjoy.
Drawing on Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish illuminated manuscripts and Tarot de Marseille for inspiration, each label is designed to be a miniature work of art, hand-drawn by the remarkably talented Juju. Today, Apostle operates from a dedicated commercial kitchen space, still based on the Kāpiti Coast as a team of three.
The range has expanded to include other sacred sides such as hot honey, chilli oil and kimchi ketchup and is now stocked in more than 200 stores across New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the UK.
But the core focus remains the same: creating small-batch, lovingly crafted products that bring joy to your meals.
