Marmalades
Hello.
If you have got this far, the jar told you something.
I will tell you the rest in a minute.
We are Isabel and Guillermo. The marmalade in front of you we make in Valencia, with the oranges from our huerta. No cold stores, no shortcuts, a fair amount of stubbornness.
— Thank you for following the trail —
— What the jar did not tell you —
We are not really a marmalade brand.
We are a family with an orchard. In Valencia. Our great-grandfather planted the first orange trees in 1917. Our father pruned them before the word “traceability” existed. Now we look after them.
A couple of years ago we planted a new one in Ribarroja del Turia. I look after that one from scratch, tree by tree. It is the one I like best.
The marmalade is what we do with the oranges that do not want to travel. The rest is down here.

— Three ideas for your jar —
Not just for breakfast
What we do with it at home when someone comes for dinner.
-
On toast with goat's cheese
Sourdough bread, fresh goat's cheese, a teaspoon on top. Better than any cheeseboard.
-
Glaze for duck breast
Two tablespoons into the pan at the end, deglaze with a splash of sherry vinegar. Sauce ready in thirty seconds.
-
A teaspoon in Greek yoghurt
Greek yoghurt with no sugar, a teaspoon, a handful of almonds. The quick pudding that looks like a restaurant one.

Adopt one from our huerta. It carries your name. It sends you whatever it gives each season.

Oil, honey, citrus salt, tiger nuts. The same stubbornness, different fruit.
