Öncü's pomegranate sauce, Ulker's ketchup and Knorr's béchamel mix sit at three very different ends of the same shelf, one built for the tang that finishes a salad, one for the everyday condiment on a British table, and one for a quick base sauce when time is short. Together they make up a category that covers both Turkish staples and familiar Western sauces side by side.
Ketchup, Mayonnaise and Pasta Sauces Together
The range is split into two sub-categories, Ketchup, Mayonnaise Etc. and Pasta & Salad Sauces, holding 27 products from brands including Öncü, Bodrum, Kenton, Burcu, Ülker and Knorr. Pomegranate sauce and pomegranate molasses are well represented, with Öncü offering it in 330g, 700g and a concentrated 250ml/330g bottle, Anthap's 100% natural version, and Bodrum's 250ml bottle giving three different strengths to choose from. Ülker covers the everyday side with regular and hot ketchup plus mayonnaise, Knorr adds a breaded coating mix and a béchamel sauce for quick weeknight cooking, and Kenton brings a fruity blackcurrant-and-strawberry sauce for something different on the table.
Picking a Sauce and Getting the Most from It
Pomegranate sauce, often called nar ekşisi, is worth trying first if it is new to you, since a small drizzle over a salad, grilled meat or roasted vegetables adds a sharp, fruity edge that plain vinegar cannot match. It keeps for months once opened as long as it is stored in a cool cupboard away from direct sunlight, since the natural acidity acts as its own preservative. Bodrum's hot pepper paste sits closer to a sauce than a paste and works well stirred through a pan sauce or spread thinly on bread. Knorr's béchamel and breaded coating sachets are made to be used within a day or two of mixing, so only prepare what you need for that meal. Prices in this category start from under £1, making it easy to pick up two or three to try together.
All sauces are delivered UK-wide by DHL Express in one to two business days, free once your order reaches £60 and £5.99 flat below that, with bottles packed securely for the journey.
Sauces — frequently asked questions
Which sauce should I buy first if I am new to Turkish cooking?›
Pomegranate sauce, also called nar ekşisi, is a good starting point since a small amount drizzled over salads, grilled meat or roasted vegetables adds a distinctive tangy flavour that is easy to use in everyday cooking without needing a recipe.
How long do opened sauce bottles last?›
Pomegranate sauce and molasses keep for months once opened if stored in a cool cupboard away from sunlight, thanks to their natural acidity. Sachet-based sauces like Knorr's béchamel are best used within a day or two of preparing.
What pack sizes are available for pomegranate sauce?›
Pomegranate sauce is available in several sizes, including a 330g bottle, a larger 700g bottle and a concentrated 250ml/330g option from Öncü, plus similar sized bottles from Anthap and Bodrum, so you can choose based on how often you cook with it.
Are the sauces in this category halal certified?›
Many products across the range are halal certified, and each individual product page states this clearly where it applies, so it is worth checking the listing for the specific sauce you are interested in before ordering.
