Frequently Asked Questions
What makes bitter orange marmalade different from regular orange jam?
Bitter orange marmalade is made from Sevilla oranges — a variety too bitter and sour to eat fresh but prized for marmalade-making. The result is a complex, bittersweet spread with a depth of flavour that regular sweet orange jam cannot match. The peel strips add texture and an aromatic, slightly bitter note.
Does Schwartau Bittere Orangen Marmelade contain preservatives?
No — this marmalade is made without preservatives, artificial colours, or added flavourings. The natural preservation comes from the high sugar content and the natural acidity of the citrus fruit.
How should I store this marmalade?
Store in a cool, dry place before opening. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 4–6 weeks for best quality.
What is the fruit content of this marmalade?
Schwartau Bittere Orangen Marmelade contains 35g of Sevilla oranges (with peel strips) per 100g of marmalade.
