Bart sees wet ingredients such as pastes and sauces as a primary growth area, confirmed by market statistics that show a 15% year-on-year category growth.
Founded as Bart Spices in 1963 by Reg and Jo Bartlam, the company has grown to become one of Britain’s largest suppliers of herbs and spices. Bart led the market by becoming an organic supplier in 1998, pioneering the introduction of wet herbs with a range of ready-to-use pastes, and being the first company to supply Fairtrade spice to UK supermarkets in 2005.”
