Margaret Thornby reviews East India Company Marmalade
I was asked, via Twitter, to review for East India Fine Foods Company their Grapefruit and Lime Marmalade with Silver Leaf; they subsequently sent me a sample through the post. This was a fresh tasting marmalade, with a clear taste; I could discern both grapefruit and lime coming through. It is the sort of marmalade I would enjoy at around 11am either at home or when visiting a tea room; best served, of course, with quality bread to enhance the experience. My only negative comment would be the price, which, when looking at East India’s website, I thought probably beyond the means of many at £14.95 per jar, though it may be that the price relates to the silver leaf within the product. That notwithstanding, I very much enjoyed the product.
