Grapefruit and lemon marmalade

Grapefruit has a unique personality: bitter, tangy and subtly sweet all at once, it offers a remarkably rich flavour palette. When paired with lemon, which heightens its brightness and adds a clean note of acidity, it gives rise to a marmalade with a sunlit temperament — generous in aroma and character.

Prepared with 32% grapefruit and 3% lemon, this marmalade is cooked in an open copper pan with cane sugar using our traditional method. The peel of both citrus fruits, finely sliced, slowly candies during the cooking process. This lends the marmalade a refined bitterness, fragrant essential oils and a pleasantly textured bite. The luminous pink-gold hue is threaded with translucent slivers of peel — the hallmark of slow, attentive cooking.

Lilamand has cultivated its expertise with citrus fruits for five generations in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Candied orange peel, at the heart of our calissons since 1866, reflects our profound understanding of the fruit in all its complexity — pulp, juice and zest alike. This confectioner’s expertise is evident in this marmalade, where the natural bitterness of the grapefruit is carefully balanced without being overpowered.

Invigorating and aromatic, this marmalade is perfect for spreading on toast at breakfast. It also pairs beautifully with fresh cheese, enhances white fish or prawns, flavours yoghurt cakes and brings a welcome freshness to sauces for poultry.
