About this collection
California Citrus Marmalade & Pantry
Award-winning California marmalade
Taste the citrus groves of Southern California. Our small-batch marmalades are made from California-grown citrus and slow-cooked to preserve the natural character of the fruit. Every jar is a single-variety artisan citrus preserve, and our marmalades earned eight honors at the 2026 Dalemain World Marmalade Awards in the United Kingdom. See our awards and press coverage.
Find your marmalade
Every variety has its own character. Choose the flavors that appeal to you—not simply whether you think you like marmalade.
Valencia Orange
Our sweetest marmalade begins with summer-grown Valencia oranges from our Redlands groves. Low acidity lets their honeyed sweetness and tropical character shine, with a hint of mango.
Navel Orange
Honey and warm spice unfold into tropical fruit, with the faintest hint of pineapple. A layered orange marmalade with a character distinctly its own.
Mandarin
Floral, honeyed, and light. An airy expression of mandarin, with delicate citrus fragrance and a gentle touch.
Minneola Tangelo
Complex, spicy, and kaleidoscopic. The flavor starts bright and ends dark, shifting as it unfolds—a marmalade to linger over.
Meyer Lemon
Full-bodied and herbal, with a distinctive mandarin-peel note. The deeper expression of lemon: rounded and aromatic, with more to discover than a simple citrus tang.
Eureka Lemon
Light and crystalline, like a lemon drop. No sharp zap—just pure, clear lemon flavor.
Duncan Grapefruit
Bold and a little tannic, with a maraschino-cherry note on the finish. A natural partner for roasted meats, with enough character to satisfy a Seville-orange marmalade purist while remaining far more approachable.
Melogold Grapefruit
Smooth, with a blackberry note at the start. The jar for grapefruit skeptics—a different introduction to what grapefruit can taste like.
Honey, spice, mango, pineapple, cherry, and blackberry describe tasting notes in the citrus, not added ingredients.
Beyond toast
Chefs, bartenders, and cheesemongers use our citrus preserves as a glaze, a vinaigrette base, a craft cocktail ingredient, and a charcuterie board accompaniment.
Made in California, Made in USA
Cooked in small batches in the historic Citrus Belt by a company that comes from generations of California citrus growing. Available individually, in gift boxes, and at wholesale by the case.
