Tacle Mandarin Marmalade

Back in Winter 2027 - sign up to be notified as soon as it's back in stock!

We use fresh Tacle Mandarins for this special marmalade.  Grown by Carmelo in his groves at the foot of Mount Etna in Scordia, Sicily. 

Rarely found outside Italy, Tacle are a cross between a Tarocco Blood Orange and a Clementine. Abandoned by commercial growers for their low yields, the variety survives thanks to Carmelo’s belief in its singular qualities: the seedless, highly sugared flesh of a Clementine paired with the vivid pigmentation and complexity of a Blood Orange.

We work with Natoora in the UK, who import Carmelo's mandarins within four days of being picked, unwaxed and with leaves still attached, a final marker of freshness and Carmelo’s uncompromising approach.

Once in the Jam Factory, we slice to a medium shred and then cook the mandarins slowly to soften. We add sugar then boil quickly, adding some lemon juice once ready to help bring the fresh mandarin flavour out.

The resulting mandarin marmalade as a lovely spoonable soft set. The flavour is sweet, tangy and not too bitter at all (it's a perfect marmalade for non-marmalade lovers!)

Each jar contains 225g. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

With people on the ground throughout Europe and America, Natoora are able to source varieties directly from growers, often not able to reach commercial markets.
