Marmalade preserve

Marmalade is a fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water. Traditionally associated with British culinary heritage, the most famous version is made from Seville oranges. While it has roots dating back to ancient honey-based preserves and Portuguese 'marmalada' (quince paste), the modern citrus-based spread became a staple of British breakfast culture in the 18th century.

Today, marmalade is produced by a wide variety of brands globally. High-end artisanal versions are often crafted in the United Kingdom, particularly in Scotland and England, while mass-market brands may have manufacturing facilities across Europe, North America, and South Africa. Ownership varies significantly depending on the specific brand, ranging from independent family-owned businesses like Wilkin & Sons (Tiptree) to large multinational conglomerates such as The J.M. Smucker Co. (owner of brands like Marmaduke or Smucker's) or Hain Celestial (owner of Hartley's).
