Scotty Brand has introduced Highland Baby potatoes to its product portfolio.
The baby potatoes are Isle of Jura variety, and they are grown and packed on the Brunton family’s farm in Easter Ross, in the far north of Scotland.
Scotty Brand Highland Baby potatoes are available in 175g packs, and are initially being sold in Waitrose stores in Scotland.
Michael Jarvis, head of marketing for Scotty Brand, said: “We are very excited to be launching Scotty Highland Baby potatoes. Scotty Brand has an established reputation for delivering Scottish food that is good value, low in food miles and high on taste and this addition to our potato family is consistent with the quality and expertise behind our fresh produce offerings.”
The Brunton family has farms in Easter Ross – where Highland baby potatoes are grown - and in the Angus area of Scotland. The farm in the far north of Scotland enjoys cool springs and warm summers, with up to 23 hours of sunlight per day in the middle of the season.
All of the potatoes are grown within one mile of the sea in light soil, and are carefully stored within one hour of being harvested. The growing conditions make for a fresh-flavoured, sweet and very tasty potato.
The potatoes are planted in late March and April, and harvested in August and September.
Scotty Brand was first launched in 1948 by Albert Bartlett. Its product portfolio includes tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, prepared vegetables, Ayrshire new potatoes, seasonal berries, bacon, and fresh soups, and stockists include Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Waitrose, and Wholefoods.
