Origin
Var, France

The Carra family grows the bigarade in La Londe-les-Maures, in the Var; it is also known as the sour, bitter, or Seville orange. The Mediterranean climate gives the fruit its intensity and aromatic complexity, and Maison Perrotte’s Bigarade Orange Jam, bitter-orange marmalade at its most classic, preserves them in a vivid balance of bitterness and sweetness. Spread it on toast with a strong tea, or serve it alongside duck à l’orange.
