Welsh Lady Seville Orange Marmalade
What it is
This is a traditional preserve made from the zest and juice of Seville oranges. It has a distinctively bitter and aromatic flavor profile due to the specific type of orange used. The preserve is cooked with sugar until it sets, creating a spreadable consistency with pieces of orange peel suspended within. It offers a bright, citrusy taste that balances sweetness with a pleasant tang, making it a versatile pantry staple for breakfast and baking.
