1970<\/span><\/h2>\n

The year Tilda was founded.
\r\n
\r\nThroughout the 70s, communities from all over the world arrived in Britain. They were looking for the authentic ingredients they loved back home so Tilda introduced the highest quality aromatic Basmati rice to the Western world. We were the first brand to do so, something we were and will always be incredibly proud of!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

1980\u2019s<\/span><\/h2>\n

Curry was now a national favourite with consumers inspired to cook authentic Indian food at home, from biryani to dahl and korma to vindaloo. Tilda tapped into this growing popularity of curry and quality rice and strengthened its position as the leading Basmati brand.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

We relocated to Rainham \u2013 just outside of London on the Thames Estuary \u2013 and built a state-of-the-art rice mill and packing hall. This remains the home of Tilda Ltd from where we supply our wide range of delicious rice and grains.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
