Born in a very small kitchen.

Tomatl started as a supper-club passata and grew one stubborn recipe at a time. We still cook everything in small batches and still taste every one.

Cooks preparing food in a busy kitchen

How the pantry grew

Seven years, eight products and one rule we haven’t broken.

2019

One pot, one stove

Our first passata was cooked for a supper club of twelve. Eleven asked for a jar to take home.

2021

A proper kitchen

We moved into a shared commercial kitchen and added the chipotle sauce and the chili crisp.

2023

Snacks join the pantry

Kettle chips and corn crisps followed, fried in small batches in the same kitchen.

2026

Eight products, same rule

Still small batches, still short labels, now on shelves in independent shops.
