Touch, Taste, Repeat

Every choice we made for Tocha was intentional, aimed at creating a product unlike any other. From the name Tocha, to the category of spiced sauces, to the ingredients used, and even down to the label design, our philosophy is what guides us as we create a new kind of food company.

The word Tocha was inspired by two different languages, to reflect the history and tradition that underpin our sauce-making philosophy.

The TO comes from the Tamil word, Thottukkaradhu, which means “to touch.” This refers to the sauces and accompaniments that traditionally share the table and pair with the main course.

The CHA comes from the Hindi word, Chutney, which derives from the root word chāṭnā, which means “to lick”.

Spiced Sauce Origins

We call our product spiced sauces, to reflect that we are neither a hot sauce nor a conventional condiment but inspired by both to create something much better! Combining all the flavour notes, we have crafted sauces that are perfectly spiced, bursting with umami and mild enough to be savoured by the spoonful.

In creating Tocha and spiced sauces, we have invented a new kind of condiment that you will want to touch and taste with very meal!
