Billington's sugars are all unrefined which means they have been simply made by pressing out, cleaning and crystallising the juice from the sugar cane. Billington's sugars range from a light golden to a dark treacly brown colour as the natural molasses of the sugar cane has been retained within each crystal to give the sugar a delicious flavour and aroma.

And because we believe in 100% traceability for all our products, we know all our ingredients are of the highest quality, completely natural and suitable for vegetarians.

The origins of Equal Exchange stretch back to 1979 when three voluntary workers returned to Edinburgh after working on aid projects in various parts of Africa. Along with a sister organisation in London, Campaign Co-op, they started buying instant coffee from Bukoba on Lake Victoria in Tanzania. As a result Campaign Coffee was born. The volunteers had seen how small scale farmers were getting into debt due, in part, to the appallingly low prices they received for their products. Aid was not the only answer - direct, fairer trading could help redress the balance! Many years later, after bigger campaigns, more education and better products finally reaching independent retailers and supermarkets, the three volunteers' dreams are beginning to be realised.
