Tawny Orange Marmalade, 12 Ounce Jar

I have been looking for a great tasting “chunky” marmalade. This is it! I should have found it a long time ago as I’m very familiar with Tiptree products. Love this marmalade and its bitter/sweet deliciousness and the pieces of rind.

Perfect English Seville Orange Marmalade. Slightly bitter with delightful chunks of candied orange rind. This is NOT sweet American Orange Marmalade!

This is what I've been looking for. Grocery stores only sell the nasty sweet stuff these days. This is a great balance of sweet and bitter with tender chunks of rind. Almost finished the first jar so I ordered two more. One came in fine, the other had a dented lid and broken seal. It had leaked a little. The company packs them well in individual boxes. The one that was damaged was not in the box. I'm guessing something happened to the box at the warehouse. Amazon quickly replaced the damaged on with no hassle. A little expensive, but worth it.

Most marmalades sold in U.S. stores are far too sweet for my taste, so I am always looking for something more on the bitter side, which is hard to come by. This marmalade is a fair balance of bitter and sweet but not quite as bitter as I was hoping it would be. Some reviews have described this product as having "powerful bitterness", "lingering bitterness" and being shockingly "dark and bitter". I now realize these comments must have come from people who are far too accustomed to the incredibly sweet U.S. brands and what may be pronouncedly bitter to them is only so-so in reality. Overall, it is a good balanced marmalade and superior to what is available in most U.S. stores, but if you're looking for something quite bitter, I recommend you keep looking.

This is an excellent marmalade - not too sweet and very flavorful. My family loves it with cheese or alone on crackers. I often put it out with other appetizers and always get positive comments. I will always have a jar in my cupboard!

Binge watching GBBS on Netflix has me hankering for anything baked and sweet from across the pond. I saw the contestants making their own jams, jellies, lemon curd, custard... But what caught my eye was orange marmalade. I took to YouTube to find out how to make my own, but turns out the process is much more involved and time consuming than I could commit. I wanted my little piece of England and I wanted it now! So I took to Amazon and found Wilkin & & Sons Tawny Orange Marmalade. It had good reviews. I placed my order. My first taste was shocking. It was dark and bitter. It had huge pieces of chewy bitter rind. It was nothing like those little squares of Smucker's marmalade that comes with the side of toast with the breakfast combo from the local diner. I thought I hated it. However, because I hate to waste, I went back, and tried a little at a time. After a couple of days, the shock wore off and now I am completely in love with and addicted to this dark complex tasting marmalade. It is soooooooo good!!! I will say that it is definitely for an adult palate. My kids (3 and 5) hate it, which is actually great for me. Finally, something I don't have to share! When I don't have anything to spread it on, I eat it out of the jar. When I don't want to ruin the taste of it with a piece of baked good, I eat it out of the jar. When I feel like a bit of marmalade, I eat it out of the jar. I pretty much just eat it out of the jar... It's been a week and half. I'm back here to write this review and order my second of many many jars of this wonderous marmalade. If you like marmalade that is not super sweet with lots of fruit, try it. You won't be disappointed.

As Amazon will not allow myself to review each of the Tiptree Marmalades, Preserves and Curds that I've purchased, tasted and eaten SEPARATELY, I am here-in reviewing all of them. Tiptree Orange Marmalade Medium cut: This is pretty much a typical good English Orange Marmalade, it is dark in color with a dominating burnt orange (over cooked) taste. It has a good sugar/acid balance and a noticeable bitter finish. Also, it contains medium chunks of candied rind. I guess I like this and Keiller - the best of all the English Orange Marmalades that I've tasted. However, I'm certainly not a huge fan of English Marmalades; I would much prefer more orange flavor and much less over cooked flavors and candied rind. Accordingly, a generous **** four (4) stars. Tiptree Tawny Orange Full Cut: much the same as the medium cut, a bit darker with a bit more over cooked burnt orange and a bit more bitter with a very few pieces of large- thick cut candied rind as well as some medium cut pieces, but overall less fruit pieces in the marmalade. Same good acid/sugar balance. Same positives (few) same negatives (more). *** three (3) stars. Tiptree Crystal Orange Fine Cut: Much lighter in color, very little burnt orange flavor and very, very little orange flavor. This is more of a sweet flavorless jelly. It begs the question: Why bother? ** Two (2) stars. Tiptree Sweet Tip Raspberry Preserves: Good raspberry flavors with fairly good sugar/acid balance (just a bit too sweet). I enjoyed this preserve up to the last quarter of the jar where the raspberry flavor seemed to disappear? I've just opened a second jar - to see if the flavor again "disappears" over time (about a week)? Edit (01-25-20) the second jar disappoints, after opening and aerating for two days there offers little raspberry flavor and lots more - sugar. This is about the same as Smucker's Red Raspberry jam, just much more expensive. Now, a very generous *** three (3) stars. Tiptree Wild Blueberry Preserve: No blueberry flavors here! Perhaps, some thin fruit flavor, mainly a sweet unpleasant taste. Tasting this is NOT a positive experience. There were whole blueberries in the "preserve". Just no blueberry taste? I tasted this twice two days apart. The very nearly full jar now rests in the garbage. AVOID THIS PRODUCT. * ONE (1) STAR. because Amazon does not allow 0 stars. Tiptree Lemon Curd: This is a lemon curd, it's just not a real good one. It is thin, but not very thin. It has good lemon flavors and good acidity, perhaps a bit too much acidity? Perhaps it's lacking in sweetness? It's just a bit of a miss. *** three (3) generous stars. Note: Like all marmalade, jams preserves you must remove (use/eat) a couple of tablespoons and then work the resulting surface down to 2" +/- of the product with a fork or knife to allow the product to "breath", otherwise it's taste profile will be very tight with very little fruit and very strong bitter components. After a couple of days of breathing you will have good tasting (maybe?) marmalade/jams/preserves. Conclusions: English marmalade is English marmalade. To myself, it is generally OK, but almost never very good. Additionally, Tiptree products are grossly overrated and overpriced. The best breakfast sweet spread that I have ever tasted is Smuckers Boysenberry Jam, it currently sells for $3.28 for an 18 oz jar (available from the big "W" in the sky). Yes all other Smucker's products are overly sweet, but not the Boysenberry Jam. It has a perfect sweetness/acidity balance presenting clean, clear boysenberry flavors. Delicious!

Can’t live without my thick cut marmalade. Nice deep flavour and thick chunks of orange rind. Perfect on toast with a slab of butter and a cup of Scottish blend with milk in the morning…or whenever

marmellata arance amara stile inglese, prodotto di qualità.

Per chi come me conosce il marchio sarpà di certo che si traduce in una garanzia di qualità. Ciononostante, non parliamo di una "bitter oranges" (quelle veramente amare) ma ha nel retrogusto delle forti note agrumate e di leggero amaro. Straconsiglio per qualità ed autenticità!

Calidad razonable a precio excesivo

This is the best coarse cut marmalade I’ve ever tasted (apart from Mum’s).

Delicious Marmalade in every way. I've been trying to find it in Supermarkets without success but at last have managed to get some on line! Best Marmalade on the market! Over recent weeks, I have bought 6 jars, which speaks for itself! As usual, first rate - packing and delivery exceptionally good. Thankyou.
