At Tilda quality means:
When it comes to perfecting a dish, the quality of rice makes all the difference. Tilda Pure Basmati is crafted with precision and care, bringing only the finest grains to your table. Each grain is expertly chosen to ensure it is whole and unbroken, promising a fluffy, consistent texture with every bite. The perfectly white colour of Tilda’s basmati reflects its purity, creating a beautiful, premium rice that looks as good as it tastes.
What truly sets Tilda Pure Basmati apart is the meticulous aging process. Aged for 18 months, our rice develops a distinct, aromatic flavour that adds richness to every meal. This aging, combined with generations of local farming expertise, guarantees a level of quality and authenticity that is unmatched.
With Tilda Pure Basmati, you’re choosing rice that embodies tradition, quality, and an exceptional dining experience every time.
01
As with all food crops, a percentage of the crop will contain blemished or discoloured grains. High-quality rice has had these imperfections removed, resulting in uniform, white grains. In contrast, lower-grade rice typically contains a higher percentage of such blemished grains. Tilda utilises multiple optical colour sorters to remove these discoloured grains from the rice. This will vary depending on rice type.
02
All rice types come with their own uniquely shaped grain. The most important check we do at Tilda that separates us from cheaper rice is the removal of broken grains. It’s important to remove these broken grains from the finished product , as they release starch quickly during cooking, resulting in stickier rice.
03
The texture and aroma of your rice will entirely depend on the rice type. This is where choosing the right rice for your cooking can really matter whether you need it sticky, sweet, short or long.
