I love the Aldi Thick Cut 'Grandessa' Marmalade and when they didn't have it in stock my Mum had a dilema knowing I'd be gutted without my usual sticky delight so she felt she had no other option but to buy the fine cut version of the same thing for me. I wasn't too chuffed to be honest when I saw it wasn't thick cut marmalade!

The Packaging:

454g glass jar with a black screw on/on lid to the top of it. On the front there is an orange label and on that there is a picture of sliced oranges and I'm told it is deliciously Fruity Grandessa Orange Marmalade 'Fine Cut' and then I'm told it contains 35% fruit and there is an at a glance nutritional chart shown. On the back label other information includes ingreidents, storage instructions are given, there is a full nutritional chart on there, size is stated and contact details for Aldi are given. It's a nice enough informative jar and easy to open and informative enough etc.

The Marmalade:

Light orange and sort of transparent and jelly like with dark orange, small, thin shreds of orange peel. It has a zesty smell to it as well as tasting of oranges (and only of oranges). It is sweet with a slight undertone of bitterness from the rind. It's very sweet in a naturally sweet way and it's incredibly easy to spread due to it's rather sloppy consistency.

Verdict:

To me it tastes nice enough and it really is a fine cut marmalade. Nicely sweet but not overly so the only problem I feel that this has is that when you first buy, open and use it it is set rather firm but the more you use it the more it turns to slush in the jar and by the time you get half way down the jar it's pretty pourable in fact. Not for me this one purely on consistency however if you like light tasting, fresh marmalade's you don't need to use a lot of then this could be right up your street!
