Edward Billington and Son began trading tea and coffee across the oceans in 1858 and started to import sugar soon after. It was in 1977 that Billington's began to import sugar of the highest quality – the Mauritian unrefined brown sugars.

Billington's unrefined brown sugars are produced at source, with the aim of locking in, rather than refining out, the natural molasses of the sugar cane. It is this difference that gives Billington's its unique richness, aroma, depth of flavour and natural colour.

Some of Billington's sugars are the world's finest soft baking sugars that offer rich flavours to sweets and savoury dishes.
