I don't know which type of rice is this but Kohinoor do three different versions.
Platinum is the age-old and rare variety of traditional basmati rice, which is grown only in the foothills of Himalayas. Gold is the extra long basmati rice, which is the longest basmati rice available and Silver is the new generation super basmati rice, which has all the qualities of traditional rice and yet it yields is more.
if Gold variety it's very nice indeed.

the older the rice gets the better it is that's why the good ones say aged to perfection. anyway 70kg should last us about 2/3 years being Asian and that's long compared to some families lol

I can confirm this deal is probably national as my local Tesco in west London had none left when I was there on Tuesday. I found out from my sister in east London :wink:

We soak because you get longer grains when cooking but a friend was telling me that it rids it of chemicals used in the growing process not sure if that's true or not but she's health crazy so I tend to believe her.

very good rice the older it gets the better the flavour ( just make sure you wash then soak rice for an hour before cooking)

They had lots of these in (Cardiff Western Av store), so the deal is national.
