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.

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. Thanks for visiting Fashion and Style Police.

I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I enjoy writing them. GT – You’re currently involved with South Asian and Caribbean foods. Are you looking at importing foods from any other countries? The current owners of the business are the Khera family and myself, Mike Baldrey. Although I have a minority shareholding, it is significant. We have many of the most respected brands in the ethnic food industry, KTC, Sea Isle, Supermalt and Ashoka, to mention just four; we are always competitively priced and generally give an excellent all-round service. Quality has always been a top priority.It is a great multi-tasking oil. Fabulous for moisturising he skin (I add it to my regular lotion), conditioning he hair (I use it in my spray bottle with some water), and cooking. It’s quite simple: we offer personal attention, competitive prices and have 700 products to choose from. GT – What standards do you work to? Have you won any awards for innovation, exports or other achievement?

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 – 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?GT – What is your brief as Sales Director? How are you organised in terms of sales to the different sectors? 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. I’d like to see us continue to use our vegetable oils and fats as our bread and butter – forgive the pun! – while expanding further in the exciting arena of “New Continental Foods” and bringing in more profits from both areas. I’m delighted to see the increasing shelf space afforded to us by the multiples for these new KTC lines. 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. 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).

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 (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. 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?

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”. 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. 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 – 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.

GT – What do you see as the major trends in speciality ethnic foods? How are you responding to these trends?
