Nick Joy, Managing Director said 'Loch Duart is very proud to be involved with Salar because it's a wonderful food produced by local people using unique artisanal methods. What has been massively heartening for us is the support that Salar Flaky has all over Scotland and the growing awareness in the rest of Britain. Since becoming involved with Salar, we have seen the development of Exports and these offer significant hope for further profitable growth. Such growth and potential, at such a difficult time in the market, demonstrates the award winning quality of the Salar brand and the sheer deliciousness of Flaky Smoked. Being shortlisted for this award, at this time, is extremely important as it gives us further confidence to push on in the market place'.
