Make Works: Mackays
We've collaborated with Make Works to showcase the stories behind our products. Today we catch up with Judith Davidson, UK Sales Manager for Mackays Ltd.
Dundee is known for being the home of marmalade and Mackays, a family business, is now the last remaining producer of orange marmalade in the area. Watch Judith discuss the process behind creating their famous marmalade and discover more about Mackay's relationship with Dundee in the video below.
Traditional open copper pans and authentic cooking methods means Mackay's products maintain that traditional home-made taste.
They use the highest quality bitter Seville oranges to ensure rich fruit flavours in every batch.
Created especially for our shop, V&A Dundee Orange Marmalade has a special fruit blend and a label inspired by the architecture of our building.
