Spicy Diwata Mango Ketchup by Haynayan Ketchups

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The first impression is unmistakable — the golden richness of mango, smooth and honeyed, fills the palate with tropical warmth. Yet almost immediately, a fiery spice weaves through, tempering the sweetness with thrilling heat. The fruit’s natural juiciness keeps the ketchup bright and refreshing, while fermentation lends a subtle depth and umami complexity. Unlike standard sweet ketchups, this one feels alive: fruity yet sharp, sweet yet daring, playful yet layered. Spicy Diwata Mango Ketchup by Haynayan Ketchups is a condiment that mirrors the mango itself — beloved and versatile, but here transformed into something unexpected, a sauce with character and charisma that lingers long after the last taste.

The Study of Life on a Plate

Mango is the Philippines’ national fruit — a golden emblem of abundance, summer skies, and the sweetness of home. In Spicy Diwata Mango Ketchup by Haynayan Ketchups, this symbol of tropical pride is reimagined with a fiery spark, embodying the Filipino spirit of playful innovation. By combining mango’s sunny richness with the heat of spice, Chef Isi Laureano transforms nostalgia into novelty, a condiment that speaks of heritage and reinvention. Under the guiding philosophy of Haynayan — “the study of life” — this ketchup becomes more than sauce; it is a story of how familiar flavors, when set aflame, can take on new life.
