---Why I Bought This--- Like a lot of people I have a bit of a sweet tooth but do not buy cakes or biscuits, but still would like a little 'sweet' treat now and again with my cup of tea - so I have started back buying various different marmalades so that I can have it on toast as a little tasty snack.

---My Opinion--- This orange marmalade does not have much of an aroma when you open the lid, which was a little disappointing. The colour is a nice orange and the texture is well set. However once I put the marmalade onto my toast I was pleasantly surprised by the taste whch was very good. It is sweet and orangy which is what you would expect from a normal marmalade. The peel is only very small thin pieces so it is not off-putting if you do not like much peel in your marmalade.
My previous jar of marmalade was Robertsons which was over double the price and I do not think there is hardly any difference in the taste and I will be quite happy to continue buying this for 53p rather than the Robertsons for £1.24.
This is a good basic family marmalade that should suit everyone. It is not specialist in any way or niche market and is just what most people expect from an everyday marmalade. However I do not think it tastes 'cheap', which is what I found with the Tesco Value one.
