A recent taste test conducted by Which? has revealed that Morrisons' Seville Orange marmalade, priced at just £1.80, is the best marmalade in the UK. The supermarket brand triumphed over higher-end rivals, securing a remarkable 75% customer approval rating from a panel that assessed 11 different marmalades based on flavor, aroma, appearance, and texture. Morrisons' offering stood out for its attractive presentation and consistent taste, which received high marks across all categories.

The judges particularly appreciated the marmalade's balance of color, thickness, and sweetness, with many praising its strong orange flavor. Notably, three quarters of the testers applauded the generous amount of peel used, which contributed to its texture and made it a standout choice among the competition. This victory underscores the growing trend among consumers towards value without compromising quality, as budget supermarket brands continue to gain traction in market comparisons against traditional higher-priced products.

The recognition of Morrisons' marmalade not only elevates the brand within the competitive spreads market but also reflects a shifting consumer mindset that favors affordability coupled with quality. As supermarket chains look to enhance their private label offerings, the implications of such victories may prompt other brands to reassess their product lines, focusing on value and taste to better align with customer preferences.
