The article highlights Old California Botanicals’ success at the 2026 Artisan World Marmalade Awards at Dalemain in the United Kingdom, where our small-batch marmalades earned eight medals among thousands of entries from around the world.
For us, this recognition is especially meaningful because our marmalades are rooted in the citrus history of Redlands, Riverside, and Inland Southern California. The Washington Navel orange, Valencia orange, Eureka lemon, Minneola tangelo, and other California citrus varieties are not just ingredients; they are part of the agricultural identity of our region.
