Abstract
Mintel last examined the UK market for Edible Oils in December 2005, since then the shift away from standard oils to premium olive and speciality oils has gathered pace. Mintel throws the spotlight on who is buying them, why they are buying them and which providers are most likely to get their custom.
- This report covers the UK retail market for edible oils sold through mainstream grocery markets and for use in domestic food preparation. It includes blended vegetable oil (which is usually rapeseed) and single-seed oils such as sunflower and corn, plus olive (including extra virgin) along with groundnut, walnut, sesame and other varieties of speciality oil.
- The market for spray oils (including aerosols) is also included.
- Also included in this report are solid oils such as Pura Solid Vegetable Oil, compound cooking fats such as Trex, and animal fat-based lard.
