What is Heinz 57 sauce?
Heinz 57 steak sauce has been produced by H.J. Heinz Company for over 90 years. It’s dark orange and yellow in color and made up of a blend of spices and tomato puree which gives it a rich flavor that tastes similar to a ketchup, mustard combination.
Surprisingly, the number 57 doesn’t have anything to do with the number of products Heinz produced. Heinz wanted a catchy slogan so he chose his favorite number 5 and then his wife’s favorite number, 7 to make 57.
