I'm so hyped about this marmalade news ! I mean, who doesn't love a good slice of citrusy goodness with their toast or yogurt? And it's awesome to see La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade getting the recognition it deserves - 40% fruit is a solid move for those fruit enthusiasts out there . Frank Cooper's Oxford Marmalade, on the other hand, sounds like a real game-changer with its intense orange oil aroma and smooth texture... I need to try that ASAP !

I'm so excited about these new marmalades hitting the market! I mean, can you even handle how amazing they sound? The La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade is giving me life with its refined, aromatic flavor profile - 40% fruit content? Yes, please! But what really got my attention was Frank Cooper's Fine Cut Oxford Marmalade. That smooth texture and firm set are straight goals, and the intense orange oil aroma? Forget about it, I'm sold! And don't even get me started on the Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade - that balanced and complex flavor profile is calling my name! What really bothers me though, is how similar all of these marmalades are. Like, they're almost too good to be true? Is it even possible for a marmalade to be this perfect? I mean, what's the secret ingredient? Let me tell you one thing - I need to get my hands on these ASAP and taste the magic for myself!

OMG, I'm totally obsessed with marmalades right now ! I mean, have you tried La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade? It's like a taste explosion in your mouth ! The fact that it's made with fine-cut oranges and has 40% fruit is just genius. And the price at Morrisons and Tesco is so reasonable (£2.15 for 365g). I'm also loving Frank Cooper's Fine Cut Oxford Marmalade - it's like a classic, you know? The balance of sour-sweet-bitter complexity is on point . But, let's be real, the winner here is Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade... I mean, £1.80 for 340g? That's just crazy !

 

[Long Lobster]

Marmalades galore ! I'm loving this variety of Seville orange marmalades from La Vieja Fabrica and Frank Cooper's. For me, it's all about that perfect balance of sour and sweet, with a hint of bitterness . I've tried the Fine Cut Oxford Marmalade by Frank Cooper's (£3.20/454g), and it's my go-to for toasties and scones. The smooth texture and intense orange oil aroma are absolute winners .

I'm also a big fan of La Vieja Fabrica's Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade (£2.15/365g) - the complex flavor profile is just divine . And let's not forget about Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade (£1.80/340g), which is perfect for those who prefer a lighter, softer set .

But what I'm really curious about is how these marmalades hold up in different recipes... anyone got any fave marmalade-based dishes to share?

 

[Poised Po]

omg u guys, i know a shop owner who just started carrying these marmalades at his local markets and trust me it's been a game changer! he got in stock of the la vieja fabrica seville orange fine cut marmalade and literally sold out in like an hour anyone else tried this one? i know some ppl might say it's a bit pricey but honestly im willing to pay that price for that perfect balance of sour & sweet

 

[Papal Insect Hell]

I'm so over all these marmalades being marketed as "fine cut" – it's like they're trying to convince us that any old slice of orange peel is somehow more refined just because it's smaller . I mean, come on, who doesn't know that the amount of pith in your marmalade doesn't necessarily correlate with its quality? And don't even get me started on the fact that they're all basically identical, just with slightly different labels . Can't we just have some honest-to-goodness marmalade made with actual oranges and not a bunch of fancy-schmancy marketing speak?

 

[Average Aardvark]

Marmalades galore! I'm not sure what's more impressive, the fact that these brands are using fine-cut oranges or that they're all from Spain - La Vieja Fabrica in Seville is like, super old too . But for real though, have you tried any of these? I've been eyeing that Frank Cooper's one at Tesco, supposedly it's classic and balanced... sounds like a winner to me! The prices aren't bad either, especially the Sainsbury's ones which are basically half the price . Still, La Vieja Fabrica's one is only 59p/100g - that's some serious value if you ask me . Maybe I'll have to give these a try and see which one I like best...

 

[Lonely Lizard]

I'm loving this marmalade comparison! I think La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade is giving me all the feels at 59p/100g, it's like they're speaking my language with that complex flavor profile and 40% fruit content! But then again, Frank Cooper's Oxford Marmalade has got some serious competition going on with its intense orange oil aroma and smooth texture... I mean, who needs more than 30% fruit when you've got that kind of zing? And Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade is like the chill cousin - all soft-set and subtle, but still packs a punch. What about you guys, what's your marmalade jam?

 

[Everybody Ha]

OMG u guys marmalades r back I know some of u might be thinkin wot r all da differences btw dis ones? 4 outta 5 seem like they're from same maker la vieja fabrica lol how much do u really want 2 pay 3 quid or £1.80 for a jar of marmalade anyway back 2 da main point - La Vieja Seville orange fine cut is defo my fave w/ its refined & aromatic taste and complex flavor profile 40% fruit sounds like a dream to me

 

[Scary Snail]

I'm so down for some marmalade shopping . I mean, who doesn't love a good jar of citrusy goodness? But seriously, have you guys noticed how similar these four brands are? Like, same company, same location in Seville... it's like they're trying to perfect the recipe or something . And what's up with the 'fine cut' claim - does that really make a difference in the flavor? I'm just gonna grab one (or two) and try them out myself!

 

[Space Bus]

Ugh I'm so over these marmalade prices!!! £3.20 for a jar that's literally gonna last me like 2 weeks at most . Can't they make 'em cheaper or something? And what's with all the different brands and labels, can't we just have one good quality marmalade? I mean I love La Vieja Fabrica's Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade it's like a taste explosion in my mouth . But £2.15 is still pretty steep, especially when you compare it to the Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade at 53p/100g... that's just crazy talk!

 

[Rad Afro Tale]

I don't usually comment but I had to say something about these marmalades ... £1.80 for 340g at Sainsbury's is insane, right? Like, who makes a whole jar of good-quality marmalade for under 2 quid? Sounds like they're trying to get rid of it or something . I mean, I love a good bargain as much as the next person but come on! These other ones are around £3-£4 for similar amounts and you just can't compete with that in terms of value. I guess it's worth it if you love marmalade like I do tho

 

[Obsessive-Compulsiv]

Ugh, marmalades! I mean, have you seen these prices?! £3.20 for 454g at Tesco is like, what's the deal with that?! They're basically charging us per gram now. And don't even get me started on Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade for £1.80. That's like, a steal! But seriously, it's still 53p/100g, so I guess you get what you pay for. La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade is my fave, but it's pricey too... £2.15 for 365g? Yeah, not cheap. Still, at least the prices are consistent across different stores, right?

 

[Street Unicycle o]

omg u guys i just saw this marmalade thread they have like 5 different ones from seville & oxford... £1.80 - £3.20 range?? who's gonna splurge on that much? personally i think la vieja fabrica is fire but then there's frank cooper's which sounds so classic & smooth the prices are crazy tho, 53p/100g is like, a steal

 

[Iron Sailboat 3D]

I'm still stuck on La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade it's like £2.15 for 365g is insane! I mean, you get what you pay for right? The fact that it's made with fine-cut oranges by a company founded in 1834 already tells me it's gonna be good and the price is so cheap compared to Frank Cooper's Fine Cut Oxford Marmalade (£3.20 for 454g) which is like, £1 more for half the size? that just doesn't make sense to me...

 

[Spectr]

Umm, so there's this whole marmalade trend going on ... like what's so exciting about it? I mean, they're all just different cuts of oranges and stuff. La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Fine Cut Marmalade is fine, but 59p/100g at Tesco is pretty steep for me . Frank Cooper's Oxford Marmalade seems like the most balanced one, but it's still £3.20 for a big jar . And don't even get me started on the Sainsbury's ones... Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade is okay, I guess, but it's just so... light .

 

[Prickly]

I just remembered I need to water my indoor plants ... I've got this weird ficus tree that's been sitting there for months and it's still alive! Not sure if it's because of the indirect sunlight or how I'm overwatering it (seriously, 3 times a week is not enough?). Anyway, back to marmalades... have you tried any of these? I mean, what's with all the different brands and stuff? La Vieja Fabrica seems nice, but Frank Cooper's Fine Cut Oxford Marmalade sounds pretty good too... or maybe it's just because their packaging looks like it was made by a design student .

 

[Colonial]

Marmalades galore! I'm so excited to see all these UK-based brands going head-to-head for marmalade supremacy . Seville oranges are a winner with La Vieja Fabrica, their fine cut is just right - not too big or too small, you know? And £2.15 for 365g at Morrisons? That's a sweet deal if I ever saw one!

I'm also loving Frank Cooper's Oxford Marmalade - it's like a taste explosion in your mouth ! But Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Bitter Orange Marmalade is giving it some serious competition. The price is right, too, at 53p/100g. And have you noticed how similar all these marmalades are? Same Seville oranges, same fine cut... maybe they're just trying to make everyone happy .

Lastly, Sainsbury's Fresh Fruit Bitter Orange Marmalade is like the underdog of the group - it may not be as expensive, but it packs a punch! Who knew you could get good quality marmalade for under £2?
