Seville Marmelade

Sevilla,
Spanje


Seville wouldn't be Seville without oranges, and an English breakfast wouldn't be complete without marmelade.
Bitter oranges were originally cultivated as medicinal use in Andalusia by the Moors.
Britain has been importing this fragrant and bitter fruit for centuries, for the sole purpose of making marmalade. Spain grows approximately 15,000 tonnes of Seville oranges every year to meet this demand. Funnily enough, they are not really eaten in Spain. You are more likely to find these oranges on the trees that line the pavements and parks, rather than in a market.
