KTC Almond Oil 500 ml

Product Information

My brief is to control and oversee our profitable sales to all the market sectors we operate in. We are well represented in the Ethnic sector and have specialist operators in foodservice, bakery and ingredients, as well as sales agents helping us across the board. This product is THE TRUTH! I can’t see myself using any other kind of oil. I have used them all, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil; and this Almond Oil is the best oil by far. I love it. My natural hair has had a full transformation. I am still transitioning, but I can see my hair fully transitioned in about 3 months.

I have treid in vain to get the details for Sea Isle customer service to no avail and each time I ring their HQ I get no reply. I have used quite a few already, but I was not 100% sold on any until I tried this KTC Pure Almond Oil.GT – You recently launched some exciting new products. What are they, and when did you launch them? How are they doing? The Grocery Trader – When was KTC (Edibles) founded, and who by? What was the business’s initial focus? 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.

GT – The ‘corporate’ suppliers largely dominate the UK retail oils and fats market. What are the benefits to customers of dealing with an independent supplier like KTC?

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?GT – What do you see as the major trends in speciality ethnic foods? How are you responding to these trends? GT – What standards do you work to? Have you won any awards for innovation, exports or other achievement? Mr Jernail Singh Khera founded KTC in 1973. The company originally began trading in cosmetic oils, as used in the Asian community for health and beauty purposes. Originally a partnership operating as Khera Trading Co, it became a limited company and the name changed to include the “edibles” for impact, in 1979. KTC Almond oil is a rich source of vitamin E and is beneficial in many ways. Almonds are treasures of some essential minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Raw almond oil enhances the taste of the food including salads, grains and toasts. It’s quite simple: we offer personal attention, competitive prices and have 700 products to choose from.

ALMOND OIL AS COOKING OIL This oil was extracted from sweet almonds, it is quite clear, pale yellow, low viscosity and mild pure flavor, so it comes as high-quality edible oil used. It is suitable for fresh salads, fruit salads, sauces and sweet dishes, also for frying or for fondue. In Indian cuisine, it is considered a “staple”. GT – You’re currently involved with South Asian and Caribbean foods. Are you looking at importing foods from any other countries? GT – What proportion of your retail and speciality sales go through supermarkets, Co-ops and C-store chains? How fast is this business growing? GT – Where are your other retail products and your speciality products made? Do you make these products in your own factories, or do you act as importers and distributors for them?Pure, undiluted Almond Oil is the best for my hair and my daughter’s hair. I have only good things to say about this amazing hair oil. It is so good that I have had to buy 2 more bottles immediately, just so I don’t run out. GT – How big is KTC in UK turnover and staff numbers? How fast is it growing? Do you export to other countries? 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. KTC (Edibles) is probably best known to the UK food industry as Britain’s largest independent manufacturer and distributor of oils and fats. The KTC and Sea Isle food brands, which it also markets here, are familiar to Asian and Afro-Caribbean consumers both in the UK and, through KTC’s export arm, in many countries overseas. KTC has had a busy last few months: significant new business wins on both the retail and foodservice fronts and the introduction of a number of new speciality products and recipe ingredients have gone hand in hand with KTC’s retail products’ increasing popularity with adventurous Brit consumers. It all means KTC is strongly placed for further growth all round, as Mike Baldrey, KTC (Edibles) Ltd’s Sales Director, explained to The Grocery Trader. 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.
