Pantri Swswen's award-winning marmalade stocked by Fortnum
A luxury marmalade made in Powys is being stocked at one of the Royal Family's favourite department stores after being named among the best in the world for its 'exceptional quality'. More than 3,000 jars of marmalade from over 30 countries worldwide including Iran, Hawaii and Japan were submitted to the annual Artisan World Marmalade Awards in Cumbria. The Gold Award-winning Ruby Grapefruit and Welsh Honey marmalade from Caersws -based preserve makers Pantri Swswen impressed the judges so much that it has been chosen by Fortnum & Mason as one of their top picks of the awards this year. The judges were impressed with the marmalade's appearance, colour, consistency, aroma and flavour, describing it as 'perfect', 'inviting and delicious' and 'like eating a ruby grapefruit and opening a jar of honey all at the same time'. RECOMMENDED READING Jars of the Powys-made marmalade, which narrowly missed out on taking the top prize at the Dalemain World Marmalade Awards and Festival, are now on sale as a limited edition in Fortnum & Mason's flagship Piccadilly store in London. Pantri Swswen also scooped another Gold Award for their Seville Orange and Welsh Apple Brandy marmalade. Launched by Lizzie Jones in 2012, Pantri Swswen has gone on to win multiple awards for their Welsh artisan preserves and cakes which are made in the village near Newtown. 'It is a real pleasure to have won these awards against such strong competition from all over the world,' Lizzie said. 'We have been making our luxury Welsh artisan preserves for many years and it is a great thrill to have received this recognition, and we are extremely proud to have our marmalade stocked by Fortnum & Mason in their flagship Piccadilly store. 'Making our Ruby Grapefruit and Welsh Honey Marmalade is a delight; it's made using fresh organic Ruby Grapefruit combined with raw Welsh Heather Honey from Bee Welsh Honey - a heavenly combination and a marmalade experience not to be missed." Beatrice Hasell-McCosh, Director of the Awards, said the artisan marmalades judged this year had been 'of exceptionally high standards'. 'This really is a competition of the giants of the preserving world,' she said. 'I know that Pantri Swswen will have huge success with their wonderful marmalade which was very justifiably recognised as one of the special jars in the competition.'
