2022 IS SET TO BE CALYPSO’S BIGGEST SUMMER EVER with a £500,000 consumer-facing ad campaign, positioning Calypso as THE summer drink of the year. The ad campaign will look to build on a 12-month period that saw retail listings triple and volume double for the brand.

Reaching an estimated 28m people over 5 months, the campaign kicked off on the 09 May with the tagline “You Never Forget Your First”, promoting Calypso’s refreshing and mouthwateringly sweet & lemony fruit-flavoured drinks that stay with you from that first sip.

The Calypso craze will be driven by the UK’s biggest TikTok and Instagram influencers, creating unique and exciting content showcasing Calypso at the heart of it.

Alongside this, major widespread out of home billboard activity will dominate the key cities of London, Birmingham and Manchester with extensive street-level billboards and spectacular high impact sites like Birmingham’s impressive Grand Central Station site.

‘This is an exciting time for us and retailers’, said Dan Hanton, UK Brand Manager at Color Brands UK. We are thrilled to be engaging with the fans who love our brand. We are working with stockists to prepare for the upcoming increase in demand during this busy period off the back of this exciting summer investment.”

Calypso is the number 1 selling flavoured RTD lemonade across Europe. Available in 12 flavours in iconic 473ml glass bottles. RRP £2.50

KTC Edibles launches Super High-Oleic frying oil

KTC Edibles launches Super High-Oleic frying oil

KTC Edibles Ltd (KTC), the UK’s largest supplier of edible oils, has launched Super High-Oleic Frying Oil, a traceable high-performance and long-life frying oil.


HOPO is blended using 100% traceable, organic, carbon-neutral RSPO Certified Sustainable Identity Preserved (IP) high oleic palm oil sourced directly from Daabon, a global leader in sustainable agriculture. KTC Super Hi Oleic can be offered with full traceability back to Daabon’s CI Tequendama SAS mill in Northern Colombia, providing complete visibility and zero deforestation guarantees - all the data customers need to comply with their obligations under the new European Union Deforestation Regulation (EU DR).

DAABON’s carbon-neutral organic palm oil has a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculated CO2eq of -977kg per tonne, cradle to gate. The LCA was conducted using Ecopalma’s carbon footprint estimation tool, harmonised with the ISO 14067 standard.

This traceability offers other sustainability benefits, allowing customers to calculate their Scope 3 emissions - and because it’s sourced from Daabon, a global leader in sustainable agriculture, it can be an effective way for companies to reduce the carbon footprint of their frying operations.

Gary Lewis, Sales Director at KTC Edibles, explains, "Super Hi Oleic offers the gold standard in sustainable, high-performance, long-life frying oils. We believe in offering consumers innovative new products that not only meet their culinary needs but also align with their values and sustainability goals. This is a giant leap forward in the industry, and we're proud to be at the forefront of positive change."

The high oleic palm oil used in the product also offers some unique performance advantages. It has higher oxidative stability and smoke point, lower PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) and saturated fats than standard oils. The non-GMO, non-additive formula also provides a long shelf life, a well-balanced fatty acid profile and neutral taste attributes, ensuring it can be blended with other vegetable oils for premium performance at competitive prices.

Created using a natural, non-GMO hybrid of a standard African palm tree and a native Latin American palm tree, high oleic palm oil offers significantly higher crop yields than standard palm. It also requires manual pollination leading to additional employment, helping boost the local economy - the costs of which are offset by the higher yields.
