Celebrated Ghanaian actor, and Brand Ambassador, Kwame Dzokoto, has lauded the launch of a new range of McVitie’s biscuit products, describing the event as “short, precise, and very impactful,” while commending the brand for reinventing its classic favourites to suit modern tastes.
Speaking during the official unveiling at the Lancaster Hotel, Accra, on Friday, May 9, 2025 , Kwame Dzokoto expressed excitement over the newly introduced varieties, including McVitie’s Digestive Multigrain, McVitie’s Speculars Ginger, McVitie’s Choco Chips, McVitie’s Shortbread Bites, and McVitie’s Chocolate Shortbread. “I think this is truly a wonderful event,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to be part of something so special.”
With a legacy spanning over a century and a 32-year presence in the Ghanaian market, McVitie’s is one of the most recognised biscuit brands globally. Kwame praised the company’s ability to adapt and innovate, saying, “We all know the classic shortbread, but now they’ve introduced shortbread chocolate, cookie chips, ginger biscuits, and a delicious multigrain option as well.”
Having sampled nearly all the new offerings, Kwame was full of praise for their taste and quality. “The texture was just right—crumbly on the lips and melting on the tongue,” he remarked. “It’s been a delightful experience being here today.”
Enticing consumers
Particularly enthusiastic about the Chocolate Shortbread, he encouraged Ghanaians to try it. “It’s a wonderful invention, and I’m truly proud of it,” he said. He also highlighted the unique appeal of the Speculars Ginger biscuit. “As a fan of rich tea, I could really feel the ginger’s warmth—it delivers that signature kick in a familiar, comforting format.”
Kwame further applauded the affordability of the new product range, noting that the biscuits come in various sizes, with some priced as low as GHC 3. “That’s a thoughtful idea—it makes quality biscuits accessible to everyone,” he said.
The veteran actor stated: “As a biscuit lover myself, I highly recommend these to everyone. The original shortbread we all know has now been made available in a more compact, pocket-friendly size. It’s convenient—you can carry it with you and enjoy it anytime. I think it’s a brilliant move.”
