Kohinoor Basmati Rice

Kohinoor is a world-renowned brand synonymous with authentic premium Basmati rice. The brand was originally established in India, where it focused on harvesting the finest grains from the foothills of the Himalayas. Over decades, Kohinoor expanded its portfolio from raw basmati grains to include ready-to-eat meals, sauces, and cooking pastes, positioning itself as a comprehensive provider of Indian culinary experiences.

Today, the ownership of the Kohinoor brand is split geographically following historical acquisitions. In India, the brand is owned and operated by McCormick & Company after a significant acquisition from Kohinoor Foods Limited. Meanwhile, in international markets—particularly in the UK and Europe—the brand is the flagship of the Kohinoor Foods group. This dual-ownership structure means that manufacturing occurs primarily in India for global export, while distribution and localized production are managed by different corporate entities depending on the region.
