Billington's unrefined sugars lock in rather than refine out the natural molasses of the sugar cane. It is this difference which gives Billington’s sugar it’s unique richness, depth of flavour and natural colour that refined sugars, which are simply coated in molasses, do not possess. Our unrefined sugar goes through the minimal amount of processing, within its country of origin, in order to maintain its superior quality.
Unrefined sugar is entirely produced where the sugar cane is grown. This means it has had the value added where it matters the most- in the country of origin – not in a refinery elsewhere. Because of this, the producers are able to command a very significant premium for these finished products benefiting the local industry and the whole community.

OUR HERITAGE
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 for which we are famous today.
To the present day and Billington’s is now part of The Associated British Foods Group, joining The Silver Spoon Company in 2004.
Our founding values of quality, integrity and fair trading, as well as our rich family heritage are still absolutely central to the way we do business today.
CRAFTING OUR SUGARS
We craft our sugars with precision, time and care. The skill is in stopping the process at exactly the right time, to create the many different types, flavours and colours that make up our full spectrum of sugar. Unrefined sugars of the highest quality, which we’re proud to produce, retain more of the cane sugar’s natural depth of colour and flavour.
TASTE THE DIFFERENCE
Not all brown sugars are the same. Many are white sugars with an added brown coating for colour and a little flavour.
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.
Only Billington’s Natural Unrefined Cane Sugar locks in and retains more of the cane’s natural depth of flavour. It is this difference that will make your creations taste much more glorious.
PRODUCE OF MAURITIUS
(for some product ranges)
We have developed strong and trusted partnerships with suppliers around the world, with a joint focus on producing the finest quality sugars. This is especially apparent in Mauritius, where for many years we have worked closely with local growers and sugar mills to create the finest natural soft brown baking sugars available. In turn, we have contributed towards the socio-economic development of the island.
By adding genuine value through processing and packing in the country of origin, Billington’s ethically sourced sugars have made an important difference, contributing significantly to the welfare of the people by providing employment and livelihoods for many on the island.
LOOKING AFTER OUR PEOPLE
We’re proud to say that our ethically sourced sugars have made an important difference to the cane-producing communities of Mauritius. We work closely with our partners, the Mauritian Sugar Syndicate, who represent the interests of all growers and sugar mills on the island, to ensure that all Billington’s Natural Unrefined Cane Sugar is traded fairly, with returns equally distributed providing increased revenue to thousands of small cane growers.
We source our products with integrity, working with partners who adhere to our high ethical, technical and social standards.
