The famous square chocolate brand, Ritter Sport announced its limited edition Taste The World range has returned for another summer, with two new exotic flavours set to help retailers’ summer confectionery sales.

The limited-edition range comprises three 100g block chocolate bars made from sustainable, chunky chocolate packed to the max with delicious ingredients inspired by the flavours of Southwest America, Japan and Costa Rica.

Headlining the range is new for 2022, Salted Caramel. The Southwest America-inspired bar is sure to be a hit with shoppers as research shows caramel is the third largest flavour sector in the UK after milk and nut.

Joining Salted Caramel is a Cherry & Almond Milk Chocolate bar, borrowing flavours and design from Japanese culture. With almost one in five consumers likely to buy a product that’s a new flavour, and with the range’s beautifully-designed packaging delivering shelf standout, Ritter’s exotic Taste The World range is set to get tills ringing.

The third SKU for 2022 is the range’s best-seller. Back by popular demand, fans of white chocolate can once again pick up their favourite Costa Rican-inspired White Mango and Passionfruit bar.

“Our seasonal-edition Taste The World range continues to perform really well, with the range garnering huge interest on social media each year," said Ben Daniels, Managing Director at Ritter Sport UK & IRE. "Consumers know and love the exotic range and look forward to the latest flavours being announced. Thanks to our surrounding PR and social media activity, there’s certainly demand amongst shoppers for this year’s range.

“We know consumers are hungry to explore new flavours, just as they are hungry to explore the world post-Covid. This year, we’re thrilled to have secured such wide distribution for the trade, meaning more retailers can get hold of the range, than ever before. And what puts us in an even stronger position is the continued growth of block chocolate and the opportunity this presents retailers…”

Statistics show that 63 per cent of consumers recently purchased block chocolate, versus 54 per cent in the same period the previous year. Large block chocolate purchases at 63 per cent are only second to single-serve bars at 65 per cent (down from 67 per cent the previous year).

“Stock up and let your sales take flight. Don’t miss out and be left in the departure lounge!” added Daniels.

The Ritter Sport Taste The World block chocolate bars are available until September, with retailers able to order via wholesalers including but not limited to: Dhamecha, Bestway, Rayburn, CJ Lang, Fishhills and others. Consumers will also be able to pick up a bar in store from Poundland and Wilko plus order online via the Ritter Sport online choco shop. MRRP £1.

Cherry & Almond: Delectable cherry cream is mixed with chunky chopped almonds and coated in a creamy milk chocolate.

Back by popular demand:

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.
