Behind every grain of Tilda Pure Basmati is a whole lot of care, expertise and patience.
Our journey begins where we work, where we work closely with farming communities and rice buyers who bring generations of knowledge to every crop. At the rice markets, experts pick out the very best grades of Basmati before it even embarks on its journey to the UK.
Our rice is aged for between 10 and 22 months, giving its distinctive fragrance, flavour and cooking qualities time to fully come into their own. It takes patience, but one forkful and youʼll understand why we take our time.
Weʼre rather particular about our rice. Itʼs tested for everything from moisture content to purity, with results carefully documented and samples kept for three years. Every batch is even cooked and tasted to make sure it delivers the delicate texture, distinctive aroma and the gorgeous flavour weʼre known for. Because the proof really is in the rice pudding!
Once itʼs passed all those checks, every grain is expertly milled, polished and packed. And then, finally, itʼs over to you.
