Tilda Rice

Tilda is a major international brand of Basmati rice, recognized globally for its high-quality grain products. The brand's history began in the early 1970s when the Thakrar family established the business in the United Kingdom to serve the growing South Asian community. The name 'Tilda' is derived from the names of the founder's daughters, Tila and Daksha. Since its inception, the brand has grown significantly, moving beyond just pure Basmati to include steamed rice pouches and various specialty grains.

In 2014, the brand was acquired by the American company Hain Celestial Group, but its ownership shifted again in 2019 when it was purchased by the Spanish food giant Ebro Foods. Today, Tilda operates as a subsidiary of Ebro Foods, which is one of the world's leaders in the rice sector. Manufacturing and processing primarily take place in the UK at their facility in Rainham, Essex, where they utilize advanced milling technologies to maintain the fragrance and length of the rice. As part of Ebro Foods, Tilda benefits from a global distribution network, ensuring its presence in markets across Europe, America, and Asia.
