Best Marmalades of 2026

"I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this marmalade—the taste and texture are far better than I expected from a store brand. Honestly, it even stands up well against top-tier brands from London I've tried."

"As a long-time orange marmalade fan, I can say this is the best I've had in ages. It tastes fresh and isn't too sweet. I love using it for everything from PB&Js to making quick orange glazes."

"What I really appreciate about this marmalade is that it brings a real orange flavor with a touch of bitterness, instead of just tasting like sugar. It works perfectly for mixing into my Greek yogurt rice pudding, and I like that it's not loaded with sugar like many other spreads."

"I was amazed by how refreshing and not too sweet this store-brand marmalade is. The texture is just right, and honestly, it stands up to even the fancy marmalades from London that I've tried."

"As someone who loves orange marmalade, I think this is the best I've had in a long time. The fresh taste and versatility are great—I use it for everything from PB&Js to quick orange glazes."

"I chose this specifically because reviews mentioned it was a bit runny, which I wanted for mixing into my Greek yogurt rice pudding. I love that it's not overloaded with sugar and has a nice, authentic orange bitterness."

"I’m a huge fan of all things lemon, so when I discovered this English lemon marmalade after seeing it on Columbo, I had to try it. The lemon flavor is bold and not at all subtle, which I appreciate. It’s also easy to spread and tastes amazing on English muffins—even though I wasn’t a fan of them before. Now, it’s become a go-to breakfast treat for me, and I even bought an extra jar as a gift for another lemon lover."

"As a longtime marmalade enthusiast who’s tasted every variety from Tiptree, I can say this is my absolute favorite. It delivers the perfect balance of sweet and bitter with a brightness I haven’t found elsewhere. The only thing to watch out for is that it seems to spoil faster than before, even when refrigerated, so it’s best enjoyed quickly. Despite that, it remains at the top of my list!"

"After binge-watching British baking shows, I craved a true taste of England and ordered the Wilkin & Sons Tawny Orange Marmalade. The first taste was a shock—intense, bitter, and chunky—nothing like the sweet diner marmalades I was used to. But as I kept trying it, I fell in love with its complex, adult flavor. Now, I even eat it straight from the jar! It’s definitely not for kids or anyone wanting a sugary spread, but if you like marmalade with lots of fruit and bold bitterness, this is for you."

"I switched from Smuckers to this brand and haven’t looked back in two years. It’s noticeably lower in sugar and has a more natural taste. Even though it costs a bit more, I enjoy it on my toast every morning, despite my diabetes. Definitely worth trying if you want a change."

"My husband is a marmalade enthusiast, and this is his go-to for breakfast. It’s perfectly sweet, with lots of orange zest pieces. I trust Bonne Maman for all their jams and jellies—they’re always top notch!"

"If you’re not buying from a farmers market, Bonne Maman is the best marmalade out there—excellent orange flavor and plenty of rind. We love every product from this brand, and this marmalade fits right in with their high quality lineup."

"I've tried a lot of different marmalades, but this one stands out for its unique, tangy Yuzu flavor and ideal consistency. It's become a staple in our house for toast and bagels, and I haven't found anything else quite like it. Highly recommended for anyone seeking something special."

"As a lifelong marmalade lover, I was genuinely impressed by Yakami Orchard's Yuzu marmalade. It delivers a bright, complex citrus experience that's both subtle and extraordinary—distinct from traditional Seville orange marmalade but easily on par in quality. If you're open to new flavors, this is a must-try."

"This Japanese import is delicious, not bitter like regular orange marmalade, and absolutely shines on a buttered English muffin. It's a fantastic way to start the day, and I can't wait to try their Yuzu juice in tea next. Definitely worth the splurge for a special treat."

"Growing up in England, I got used to marmalade with real orange intensity, thick chewy rind, and that signature bitter-sweet balance. This brand captures all those qualities—far superior to the overly sweet orange jellies in the US. It’s not the easiest to spread, but that just proves it’s genuinely English marmalade."

"I’ve tried just about every marmalade available in American stores, and they’re almost always the same—bland, too sweet, and lacking that sharp orange flavor. This marmalade, though, is different: the orange flavor is bold, with just the right amount of bitterness to complement the sweet. The thick-cut rind adds a perfect chewy texture that I love."

"The product itself is wonderful and reminds me of my childhood, but I’ve had some trouble with the packaging. My jars have sometimes arrived leaking or with damaged seals, which is disappointing. Still, the marmalade’s taste is unmatched."

"I've tried a lot of marmalades, but this one stands out for its authentic Dundee style and high quality. The taste is just right—not too sweet, not too bitter—and now most other marmalades seem overly sugary to me. Highly recommended if you want the real thing."

"The Seville orange tang in this marmalade really wakes up my taste buds and makes breakfast special. I love how it's perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. This is my go-to for a great start to the day."

"I was searching for a replacement after James Keiller disappeared, and this is a fantastic old-fashioned marmalade. It has the right combination of sweetness and bitterness. Definitely a solid alternative!"

"I was looking for a way to make a quick, low-sugar cranberry sauce and this marmalade was absolutely perfect. The flavor was the best I’ve ever used, and it’s not only delicious with turkey but also fantastic on desserts like pumpkin pie. I love that it’s not overly sweet and still has a great tang."

"As someone who’s really mindful about healthy eating and sugar content, I was so happy to find this jam. My family and I love the natural sweetness from dates and grapes—no added sugar or artificial ingredients. The mango-pineapple flavor is our favorite, and my kid now prefers it over regular jam. The only small issue is that it can get a bit lumpy and needs to be refrigerated after opening."

"The taste and quality of this marmalade are excellent. It’s not too sweet, has a nice tang, and the texture is just right. I wish it were easier to find in stores, but Amazon had it for a reasonable price, so I’ll definitely buy again."

"As a single mom, I absolutely love how these single-serve jelly packs keep my kitchen clean and my sanity intact. My kid gets to pick from different flavors, and I no longer have to worry about sticky countertops or digging into messy jars. The value is great, and portion sizes are ideal for sandwiches or toast. These have become a staple in my house."

"For camping trips, these packs are a perfect solution—no need to drag a whole jar from the fridge. I enjoy having apple jelly as one of the options, and the convenience of 200 packs means I can share with family. The taste is just right and it’s so easy to use when we’re outdoors."

"The single-serve packets are just the right amount for my husband’s toast or PB&J. He likes being able to choose from three flavors, and the jelly stays fresh—unlike the big jars that get dried out or gooey. Great value and helps us avoid waste."

"I think the marmalade’s flavor is incredibly delicious and the mix of cranberries and oranges is just perfect. It goes wonderfully on English muffins, bagels, and toast. Stonewall Kitchen never disappoints!"

"As someone who enjoys both cranberries and marmalade, I had to give this a try and wasn’t let down—it's truly excellent. The taste is wonderful and not too sweet. My only complaint is that it doesn’t last long in my house—it’s usually gone quickly!"

"The condiment has a really nice balance of flavors, making it a must-have for Thanksgiving. While the price is a bit high for the jar size, I definitely think it’s worth it for special occasions."
