Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade Review

When it comes to choosing spread for toast, there are literally hundreds of options out there to choose from. Marmalade is a traditional spread used for toast. Is Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade worth adding to your shopping list?

Background Information

I received a jar of Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade, which is a product of England, from a neighbour of mine, who happens to be from the same English town as me, when she picked up some specialty British products on a recent shopping trip. Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade has been making jams and marmalades in Manchester since 1881. The company is still run by the Duerr family.

Product Description

Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade comes in an attractive glass jar and contains 454g (16oz) in each jar. I was pleased to see that this marmalade contained coarse cut orange, rather than finely chopped fruit. Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade is dark brown, like treacle, rather than orange, as you might expect from marmalade.

Marmalade Recipe

What I liked about Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade was that there was a recipe for marmalade on the jar that is easy to follow if you would like to try your hand at making your very own marmalade. To get that tangy taste, make sure you use Seville oranges, which are perfect for marmalade.

Nutrition Facts

Each 20g (1tbsp) of Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade contains 50 calories, no fat or sodium, 13g carbohydrates, 13g sugar, and no protein. Unless you slather on the marmalade, it is possible to enjoy a fairly low-calorie spread with your toast in the mornings that is both fat-free and sodium-free.

Ingredients

Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade is made up of sugar, corn syrup, oranges, orange peel, fruit pectin, citric acid, and coloured with caramel. I was a bit disappointed to see that corn syrup was used and that oranges were not the first ingredient featured, as the first ingredient represents the ingredient that is more prominent in a product.

Taste Test

Before I had even tried Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade, I smelled the marmalade. It had a sharp, tangy smell, which confirms that this is real marmalade. I added a small dollop of Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade to my toast. It was tangy, sharp and delicious.

Recommendation

I was pleased to receive a jar of Duerr’s Seville Orange Marmalade. It was tangy and delicious and I would recommend it.
