Marmalades

There are many stories about the origins of Marmalade. Food historians generally agree that the term "marmalade" is derived from the Portuguese term ‘marmelada’. Marmelada was a solid paste made from cooked-down quinces and sugar.

The 'invention' of marmalade as we know it today, is generally credited to the Scottish. Legend has it that a Dundee woman, Janet Keiller, made the first shredded batch of marmalade in the 1790s. When faced with a pile of bitter oranges from Seville, she set about finding a use for them. Several hours later - modern marmalade was born.

We’re very proud of our range of tangy marmalades…our goal being to create something for everyone; with of course a special one for the Scottish!
