RECTORY FOODS LAUNCHES NEW TEN-STRONG GARLIC
Rectory Foods Ltd now offers a new ten-strong range of garlic products.
In the company’s first move into the food ingredients sector, it is using its sourcing and distribution capabilities to obtain and supply the finest, hand-picked, highest quality garlic.
Working exclusively with an approved garlic specialist, Rectory Foods now offers premium frozen and dehydrated garlic as well as an ambient sterilised purée.
Frozen products include premium whole garlic cloves, as well as sliced and diced garlic pieces. A garlic purée is also available in Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) garlic ‘nuggets’.
The 20g cubes of frozen garlic purée come in 10kg cases and for larger quantities, Rectory Foods can supply the purée in solid 10kg buckets and 1kg blocks.
In the dehydrated range, Rectory Foods offers garlic powder, granules and flakes, which come in pack sizes from 100g to 25kg.
In addition, the company supplies a 10kg sterilised garlic purée pouch pack, containing 100% garlic, with no additives or preservatives. This product is the result of one year of research and development, to ensure the optimum quality, texture and application capacities, and has a ten month shelf life.
Rectory Foods is the first company to offer garlic in this format in the UK.
The products are aimed at food manufacturers, both branded and own label, ethnic and international food processors, pizza, pasta and Italian food producers and industrial bakers.
They are also perfect for the spices sector, especially ‘lazy garlic’ suppliers, as well as wholesalers, retail packers, and the foodservice industry.
Matthew Armitage, Divisional Director for the company’s Food Ingredients department comments: “We have taken our industry knowledge, sourcing expertise and strong relationships with suppliers and translated this into the garlic sector.
We are delighted to be able to offer our customers our range of garlic products, from quality dehydrated garlic, to the innovative sterilised format.”
He later goes on to say that: “We have done extensive research into garlic production and facilities and have invested significant time and resources to ensure that all plantations meet our strict accreditation standards. This year, prices for garlic are set to remain high, perhaps up to double the early 2009 season rate, but we are committed to delivering quality products at competitive prices. The price hike follows this year’s trend of increasing prices due to lower yields during 2009, coupled with a poor crop.
The harvesting of the new 2010 crop starts mid-June and positioning will be key this year to ensure annual cover is secured at the best price.”
Rectory Foods has a technical department to ensure all its suppliers meet BRC standards.
