Organic bitter orange for English marmalade (Seville Orange – Valencia)

This is not an orange to eat. It is the orange used to make the world’s finest marmalade.

This variety, internationally known as the Seville orange, is the traditional base of authentic English marmalade. Its thick peel, rich in essential oils and natural pectin, together with its intense and aromatic flavour, makes it the perfect fruit for creating a deep, glossy and characterful marmalade.

The most famous British marmalades are made from this type of bitter orange. The difference is that ours are grown under the sun of Valencia, organically farmed and freshly harvested directly from the tree for you.

Why this orange is special

Unlike sweet table oranges, this variety contains much more natural pectin, has a highly aromatic peel and offers an elegant bitterness – exactly what true marmalade lovers are looking for.

That is why it is not used for juice or fresh eating: its natural purpose is marmalade.

The orange that made English marmalade famous

For centuries, England has imported bitter oranges from the Mediterranean to make its famous marmalade. Traditionally they came from Seville, but the same varieties were also planted for generations in the Valencia region as rootstock, thanks to their strength and resilience.

Today these trees give us an exceptional fruit that very few people use – yet in Northern Europe it is considered a true culinary treasure.

Who this orange is for

This fruit is perfect if you want to make authentic English marmalade, create gourmet preserves, cook traditional British recipes or produce high-quality artisanal marmalades.

It is not a sweet orange – it is an orange meant to be transformed.

Organically produced food is healthier, safer and healthier. They are healthy because of the production method in which neither chemical fertilizers, nor pesticides, nor herbicides, nor hormones, nor genetically modified organisms are used.
But they are also safer because this entire production method is endorsed by an official body that controls it. Our organic production is controlled by the COMITÉ D'AGRICULTURA ECOLÓGICA DE LA COMUNIDAD VALENCIANA (CAECV) nº CV5815E
