Marmalade Awards grazed by Daisy Graze the artisan food producer of marmalade, preserves and jam.
Janine Gray the owner of Daisy Graze told Welsh Country:
“I am so pleased to announce that I entered 4 marmalades in @marmaladeawards this year and did incredibly. Silver for my Lemon and Lime. Maintained my Bronze for my Seville Orange. Another Bronze for my Blood Orange and for the new kid on the block, Grapefruit, a commended. Can’t tell you how much the recognition means.”
These awards are a true recognition of their quality with judging carried out by a small panel of experts. Indeed the 2025Marmalade Awards has received even more entries this year, with over 3000 jars from more than 30 countries worldwide including Iran, Cyprus, Greece, Hawaii, Hong Kong, USA and Japan. The Artisan jars are judged by an expert panel including head judge, Jane Maggs (founder of Wild & Fruitful), food historian Ivan Day and Fortnum & Mason Grocery Buyer Syrie Gwyn Palmer. The accolade of the roundels that have been awarded denote marmalades of exceptional quality.
Indeed the Marmalade Awards and festival are only made possible by all the people who enter each year, carefully wrapping their jars and taking the time to make and send their marmalade to Dalemain.
There is also a huge amount of work that the volunteers put in each year from unwrapping the entries to decorating the displays. The judges are also volunteers taking time out to use their world class knowledge to help us find the best of the best.
We are exceptionally lucky to have partnered with key organisations, Fortnum & Masons, Rathbones, Westmorland Family and Lycetts who support the Awards and Festival with sponsorship, support and great enthusiasm which allows us to continue.
Janine commented at the time of the awards:
“It is a real pleasure to have won this award against such strong competition from all over the world. We have been making our marmalade for several years and it is a great thrill to be recognised among such a strong field.”
