Dalda is a brand of hydrogenated vegetable oil popular in South Asia.

History

Dalda’s story begins in early 1930s when Hindustan Vanaspati Manufacturing Co (today’s Hindustan Unilever Limited) wanted to start manufacturing Vanaspati locally. At that time hydrogenated vegetable oil was imported in India by a Dutch company, Dada & Co. Dada & Co, insisted that the branded product should reflect their name, hence in a bid to establish their ownership of the brand Hindustan UniLever introduced the letter 'L' for Lever into the name; and thus was born DALDA, one of the longest-living brands in India. Dalda came to be synonymous with the vanaspati (hydrogenated vegetable fat) genre.

In India

Hindustan Unilever Limited@ has since sold the brand to Bunge Limited who now owns Dalda, offering new variants of Dalda in India. Bunge being the largest manufacturer of bottled oils in the world has now extended the Dalda brand name to its range of refined and filtered oils in India.
