Tiptree Orange Marmalade, 12 Ounce Jar

5 stars for product 0 stars for product packaging at the warehouse ( no padding/bubblewrap for fragile glass items),Love this product but item was sent without protection inside a cardboard box and predictably the glass jars arrived broken and a sticky gooey mess.This is the second time I have ordered a 6 pack of the tiptree orange marmalade and the other time one of the jars was broken as well but I didn’t discover the broken jar until long after I received the item.Edited to add: this is a more bitter orange marmalade made with bitter Seville oranges. This is not your typical sweet American style orange marmalade. Buyer beware as this may not be to your liking if you like super sweet jams or are just not into acquiring a taste for new/different foods. I find it plenty sweet with a much more interesting flavor profile from the Seville oranges. I also really enjoy the bitterness and texture the orange peels add to the marmalade.

Read the label. There are only two ingredients: Sugar and Seville Oranges. That's it. No artificial flavors or colors. No High Fructose Corn Syrup. And no Pectin either. The simplicity really shines through. It makes you wonder why some brands contain so many ingredients, and they still can't compare to the flavor and texture of this one.I've tried some marmalades that tasted too much like orange candy. And many of them contain Pectin (it gives them a somewhat jellied or rubbery consistency). and they need to be stirred well before serving, especially after refrigeration. The consistency or "flow" of this brand requires little or no stirring before serving.This marmalade contains some peel (rind) mixed in. It has a deep flavor, with just the right amount of orange bitterness to keep the mixture from tasting candy-sweet and one dimensional. I highly recommend this product. Made in the United Kingdom.

Classic marmalade. Not candied up w/excess sugar. Classic flavor not suitable for a sweet palate.

Product is delicious but one of the two jars was smashed in the box. I called amazon and got a refund but unfortunately, I won’t order this product again. There is no effort made to bubble wrap it. 😩😡

Ok, first a confession. I am a marmaholic I have a bagel or English muffin with orange marmalade almost every morning. And have for as long as I can rememberMost "American" orange marmalades are all wrong. They use sweet oranges and taste like jellified orange juice. Uh . . . no. A proper orange marmalade is made from bitter oranges - particularly Seville oranges. And preferably it includes chopped pieces of the orange peel. Good marmalades are typically distinguished by the volume and size of these pieces: Fine Cut, Medium Cut, or Thick Cut. I like all types or marmalades, but typically prefer medium cut.Now, I have found some pretty good marmalades from the US and Canada. My personal favorites are Trader Joe's Seville Orange Marmalade (which you can buy here at Amazon or at about 1/4 the price directly from TJ), followed by - believe it or not - Safeway Select Seville Orange Marmalade which AFAIK is the best bang for the buck you can find. They are both real good, and for most folks should probably be all you would ever want.But I'm a marmaholic. I want more.Great Britain is the Land of Orange Marmalade. And there are a few brands imported from England which you might find on your grocer shelf here in the states. The most common ones I see are Dundees (which IMO is not very good), Mackays (maybe even a little worse), and Roses (probably best of this lot). Now I am not saying that these brands are bad, they are just . . . meh. There are so much better options - including the ones from TJ and Safeway that I mentioned above.To go beyond that, you generally have to resort to specialty food markets and the Internet . . . like Amazon! Here you will find some very good British orange marmalades. Duerrs. Frank Cooper. Robertsons (their Golden Shred is especially nice for a thin cut marmalade). All of these represent a step up from the options mentioned above, IMO.Then there is Wilkin & Sons Tiptree Marmalades. IMO, these are the best of this breed of imported marmalades, across the board. Their Crystal Marmalade is an excellent fine cut marmalade. Likewise the Tawny Marmalade for a thick cut marmalade - which I believe is a best seller here at Amazon. But the Tiptree Orange - a medium cut marmalade - is my favorite of the lot. The consistency of the jelly is something I have not found in any other marmalade available in the states. Almost perfect. The size, color, consistency, and volume of orange peel are also almost perfect. And again not matched by any other marmalade that I know of which is available in the states.If I was going to give one jar to someone who had never tried orange marmalade before, this would probably be it.Now mind you, this is NOT my favorite orange marmalade in the world. My favorites are all private label marmalades for Fortnum & Mason, an upscale market in London and the royal grocer for more than 150 years. However, AFAIK no one in America carries their marmalades. You used to have to travel to London (which I have done a few times) but in the past few years they have exported to the US with a very hefty shipping charge (I have ordered directly from them this way). And I am guessing that you have to have a real passion for marmalade and have eaten a lot of it from a lot of different brands over the years before you would find any significant difference between the Fortnum & Mason marmalades and this Tiptree Orange marmalade here from Wilkin & Sons.Bottom line, if you are looking for a top drawer orange marmalade, and assuming that you are not nearly as obsessed with marmalade as I am, then you can end your search right here. This is the real deal.

This orange marmalade is sour. There is no sweetness to it. It does taste like orange, and it has thin pieces of orange peel in it. The sourness of it stings my mouth a little. I ate almost the whole jar, but I have had other marmalades that are better than this. It tastes okay on crackers, and I also tried it with baked beans. It might go well with ham. Marmalade and peanut butter are good.I also tried the Tawny orange marmalade. The Tawny orange marmalade does not taste like orange to me. It is a thick jelly that does not taste good. There were four large pieces of orange peel in the entire jar. The orange peel tasted like orange. I guess I just enjoyed the four pieces of orange peel.The jars of marmalade that I received were not leaking, and they were packaged perfectly.

Bought this because after over 40 years Keiller's Dundee, my favorite, was unavailable. For me, this is a most delicious orange marmalade. Delighted to have it and will buy it repeatedly.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:What kind of lead questions are preprogrammed…this item tastes delicious, it could be more tart but it has great flavor. It is expensive for the size so I won’t purchase it again unless it’s on sale. It is fresh and good on an English muffin on a warm morning.
