Chivers UK Olde Eng Marmalade 340g (12oz)

It's what I grew up with in England and has all the attributes - bitter oranges sweetened to bring out the best flavor, thick cut and chewy rind, and that orange intensity that only English marmalade has. This isn't that overly sweetened orang jelly that passes for marmalade in the US, this is the real thing.Also, it isn't supposed to be easy to spread, so I wouldn't use that as a rating.

I was tickled to find the recipe had not changed from my childhood. One jar arrived broken but that was Amazon's fault as they shipped it and they are refunding for the damaged item. The marmalade itself is wonderful and there is nothing else I have ever tried that compares to it.

What I look for in a marmalade:1/ Orange peel chunks. It has them.2/ Some bitterness. I want it to have some bite, that's the whole point of orange marmalade. Else it should be called orange jam.3/ Less sugar. Not a matter of calories for me, too much sweetness simply hides the taste.This marmalade has the best bitterness/sweetness balance I was able to find: finally a marmalade with some bite.I actually wish it would a bit less sweet, but I've so far not found any marmalade that is less sweet without compromising on the bite.

Hard to find in your supermarket but it is the best marmalade bar none. A bit more expensive than other imported brands but well worth it.

I have bought this several times and love the marmalade. However this time the bubblewrap was sticky with visible marmalade rendering it unsafe for consumption. I am dismayed that it is not returnable or to be replaced except at additional cost. It is pricey. This seems to be a common problem with this seller and I feel ripped off! Very disappointing. I will not order again from them.

Excellent highly recommended to does who like flavor and quality.

Order,delivery and product were all pleasantly experienced.

I thought I'd try a different brand of marmalade, just for fun. This has a nice flavour - tart/bitter, not too sweet, but I've had about five pieces of toast now, and I've seen exactly two shreds of peel. I tried stirring it up from the bottom. No sign of peel. It's slightly more expensive than the Tiptree I usually buy, so I won't bother with this one in future.
