About Britannia
Britannia is a trusted UK brand of traditional beef dripping, marketed as "A Great British Ingredient" with authentic flavour for roasting, frying, and baking. The product is distributed by Princes Limited and has become the go-to choice for British cooks seeking genuine dripping for traditional recipes. Britannia Finest Beef Dripping is made without additives, offering pure refined beef fat with an impressively high smoke point of 280°C. This high temperature tolerance makes it ideal for deep frying—particularly the classic British fish and chips, which were traditionally fried in dripping before vegetable oils became more common. The product's longer frying life compared to normal cooking oils makes it economical for those who fry regularly. Beyond frying, Britannia dripping is perfect for roasting potatoes (creating that crispy exterior British cooks prize), Yorkshire puddings, pastry making, and general cooking where authentic beefy flavour is desired. Available in 250g and 500g packs at major UK supermarkets including Tesco, Waitrose, and Asda, Britannia dripping should be kept refrigerated or stored in a cool, dark place to prevent bleaching from light exposure. The Britannia brand also encompasses Indian biscuits—Britannia Industries of India (established 1892) produces the popular Good Day cookies and Tiger biscuits, available at Asian grocery stores in the UK. These buttery, crunchy cookies come in flavours including Cashew, Butter, and Chocolate, and have been a staple of Indian households since 1986. For traditional British cooking or Indian snacking, Britannia products offer authentic taste and trusted quality.
