Company details
Written by the company
All our marmalades are 100% handmade from fresh fruit, simmered until the peel is soft before boiling to a set with sugar. In our opinion, this is the only way to make a good marmalade. The sharpness and clarity of the fruit shines through. Our Award winning marmalades are made in North Devon in batches of 22 jars, and have the kick to wake you up in the morning. Why make it yourself?

Totally delish!
Second time buying your marmalade as a present for folk in England. Each time it has been loved! Great flavours, taste and a total surprise for the recipients. As I live in New Zealand it is an easy way to send gifts. Very easy to use the website, products arrive quickly but due to their taste…..are eaten just as quickly. Am so looking forward to trying upon my next visit to England.

Delicious marmalade:) Fantastic discovery on a chance wander through Ilfracombe
Delicious marmalade:)I discovered this company on a chance wander through Ilfracombe . The shop was closed that day so I followed up online.
The marmalade is really well packaged and swiftly delivered. Some is gradually becoming gifts for people and the rest is nicely packed away for me to happily work my way through. Thank you Proper Marmalade Company

Lovely products… I sent my parents 2 jars for a birthday present… the only let down was there was no card to say where the product was from and no message card to go with the products.. therefore my parents didn’t kno who the gift was from.

Thanks Sarah. We usually sent a message if requested and I don't recall receiving an e-mail request. I'm very sorry if you send one? We usually always add a business card too so I am very sorry if this was not the case.
Gift order
I needed to send a gift order. I found Alex prompt, extremely helpful and pleasant. The order arrived as indicated and the recipient was very pleased with the gift.

This company is making delicious marmalade. I really like the Blood Orange and the marmalade has a lovely texture which makes it easy to spread.

Super lucky to have this Marmalade shop…
Super lucky to have this Marmalade shop in our home town. Marmalade is my favourite breakfast accompaniment, I’ve tried so many over the years and this Brand tops as my favourite. The Seville is devine, also the three fruit and Blood Orange and black pepper, super stoked this is back in stock, lovely on my toast this morning!
So nice to see the shop open more now with the new owners, well done and I’ll be back in again for some more soon
