Fantastic Marmalade Awards News 2017

Twenty-nine accolades at the World’s Original Marmalade Awards celebrate the creativity of The Artisan Kitchen.

The Artisan Kitchen celebrated wonderful news from the World’s Original Marmalade Awards 2017. From our small kitchen in Gloucester, we brought home an incredible twenty-nine awards.

The highlight was a Category Winner Gold for our Seville Orange Vodka Marmalade. This elegant thin-cut marmalade combines organic Ave Maria Seville oranges, pure cane sugar and a generous splash of triple-distilled vodka.

Each batch takes three full days to prepare. The result is bright, zesty and beautifully balanced. It tastes just as good straight from the spoon as it does on toast, croissants or stirred into a citrus cocktail.

A remarkable collection of awards

The judges awarded Seville Orange Vodka Marmalade both Category Winner and Gold status in the marmalade with alcohol category.

Further Gold awards recognised marmalades including Cotswold Lemon Honey Marmalade, Summer Citrus Aperol Marmalade, Seville Orange Apple Brandy Marmalade and Summer Citrus Gin Marmalade.

Other Gold winners included Caramelised Summer Citrus Marmalade and Seville Orange Espresso Marmalade, both praised for their rich flavour and vibrant citrus character.

Several preserves also received Silver awards. Among them were Pink Gin Marmalade, Blood Orange Marmalade and Blood Orange Grappa Marmalade.

Additional Silver awards recognised inventive combinations such as Blood Orange Aperol Marmalade, Blood Orange Gin Marmalade and Seville Orange Honey Bourbon Marmalade.

The judges also awarded Bronze medals to a range of creative recipes including Seville Orange London Gin Marmalade, Caramelised Seville Orange Marmalade and Blood Orange Cacao Marmalade.

Together these results reflected both the creativity and consistency of The Artisan Kitchen’s small-batch marmalade range.

About the Marmalade Awards

The World’s Original Marmalade Awards began in 2006. Jane Hasell-McCosh created the event to celebrate one of Britain’s most charming traditions: the art of marmalade making.

Today the awards attract thousands of entries from across the world. The competition has grown into a joyful global celebration of citrus preserving.

The awards take place at Dalemain Mansion in Cumbria, a Georgian house that has belonged to the same family for more than three hundred years. The estate also holds a remarkable archive of historic marmalade recipes.

Continuing a tradition of flavour

Every Artisan Kitchen marmalade is cooked slowly in small batches using whole citrus fruit. Patience and careful preparation allow the flavour to develop fully.

Winning twenty-nine awards at Dalemain reinforces our belief that traditional preserving still matters. Each jar captures the brightness of citrus fruit and transforms it into something golden, vibrant and unmistakably British.
