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 bright, natural flavor of the fruit. Every jar is a single-variety artisan citrus preserve, and our marmalades have earned multiple honors at the World Marmalade Awards in the United Kingdom.

Shop by variety

  • Orange marmalade — Navel and Valencia, the classic California oranges.
  • Mandarin and tangelo — Mandarin marmalade and Minneola tangelo marmalade, our sweetest and most floral.
  • Lemon — Meyer lemon marmalade, soft and floral, and Eureka lemon marmalade, sharp and clean.
  • Grapefruit — Duncan grapefruit marmalade for real bitterness, Melogold for a gentler version.

Sweet or bitter?

Our range runs from mandarin at the sweetest end to Duncan grapefruit at the most bitter. If you are new to marmalade, start with mandarin or Minneola. If you want the bracing, grown-up kind, go straight to Duncan grapefruit. For the full comparison, see our California marmalade guide.

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
