Frequently Asked Questions
Does Schwartau Bittere Orangen Marmelade contain allergens?
Based on the ingredient list, this marmalade is made from sugar, oranges, water, lemon juice concentrate, and pectin, without milk, egg, soy, nuts, or wheat as ingredients. It is imported from a German facility, so cross-contact notices can vary by production run. Anyone with a food allergy should read the printed label on the current tin before eating it.
How should I store Schwartau Bittere Orangen Marmelade?
Keep the unopened tin in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate it and close the lid tightly between uses, using a clean, dry spoon each time. Aim to finish the tin within about 4 to 6 weeks of opening for the best flavor and texture.
What makes bitter orange marmalade different from regular orange jam?
Bitter orange marmalade is made from Sevilla oranges, a variety too tart to eat fresh but valued for marmalade making, which gives a complex, bittersweet result that sweet-orange jam does not have. The chunky peel strips also add texture and a mild bitterness that plain orange jam lacks.
Is Schwartau Bittere Orangen Marmelade imported from Germany?
Yes. This is the authentic Schwartau marmalade made in Bad Schwartau, Germany, in the original 350 g tin format, not a US-market reformulation. Real Prime Deals imports it and ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so customers receive the same recipe sold in Germany.
