Robertson's Jam and Marmalade

Robertson's is an iconic British brand, most famous for its 'Golden Shred' marmalade. Founded in 1864 by James Robertson in Paisley, Scotland, the brand began when Mrs. Robertson transformed a batch of bitter oranges into a clear, bright jelly that became an instant success. Over the decades, Robertson's grew from a local business into a household staple across the United Kingdom, eventually receiving a Royal Warrant.

The manufacturing process primarily remains centered in the United Kingdom, maintaining the heritage recipes that defined the brand for over 150 years. While the brand has transitioned through various corporate ownerships, it remains a symbol of traditional British breakfast culture. Today, the brand is managed under the umbrella of a major international food conglomerate while retaining its distinct British identity and flavor profile.

Ownership changed significantly in the 21st century. In 2012, the brand was sold to the Hain Celestial Group, which helped transition the product into a modern health-conscious market without losing its historical roots. The brand continues to be a market leader in the marmalade and jam category globally.
