KTC Almond Oil 500 ml

Product Information

Our newest products are Smoothies, Peri Peri sauces and a new Sea Isle Very Hot Pepper Sauce, which will blow your head off! They were launched in April, so it’s too early to tell how they’re selling just yet, but Smoothies in particular look like a real winner. Let’s hope we have a good summer.

GT – Of your retail products, what proportion of sales is retailer private label and what proportion is branded? Do you have capacity to take on more retailer private label, and if so what kind of products? The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has now notified us they plan to call on their members who collect, sort, distribute and deliver parcels and letters to take strike action over the following four dates; I wrote about the many Hair Oils available some weeks ago, and the best Hair Oils for growth. Well I have been experimenting with a few new hair oils to discover the best hair oil for our hair (that is myself and my baby girl). GT – What do you see as the major trends in speciality ethnic foods? How are you responding to these trends?GT – How big is KTC in UK turnover and staff numbers? How fast is it growing? Do you export to other countries? We support the Notting Hill Carnival, as well as many food shows and regional Melas (Asian community festivals.) KTC has been a long term supporter of the Asian media, especially TV, films and magazines. We offer recipe leaflets on many items and have been associated with Madhur Jaffrey and other Asian cooks in the past. GT – Which of your products have crossed over from being bought purely by the ethnic community to being bought by Brits as part of their cooking repertoire, and which ones have the potential to do so? Have you modified any of your products’ recipes to appeal to UK mainstream tastes?

I’d say the split is about 60/40 in favour of branded versus private label. We could certainly take on more private label vegetable oils. We blow our own PET bottles in our Wednesbury factory. KTC serves the whole spectrum of the UK and export food trade including the major multiples, the major wholesale groups and food manufacturers and processors supplying foodservice and retail. Our oils and fats are generally refined in the UK and blended and processed by us in Wednesbury and Liverpool. We develop all our own products with the help of the refiners and Leatherhead Food International. It’s quite simple: we offer personal attention, competitive prices and have 700 products to choose from.Yes, we would like to hear from any importer or exporter who wishes to enter the UK market with a saleable product. We already work closely with Tilda and have just signed a dual branding agreement with CAROTINO, who are already in the multiples but want us to sell their products to the wholesale and independent retail trade. It is so good for our hair. I have noticed a massive growth in our hair, especially my daughter’s, since we started using it.
