Mackays

The Mackay factory was originally a carrot processing facility in Carnoustie, Eastern Scotland and in 1938 the Mackay brothers converted the site into a jam-making facility sourcing berries from the bountiful fields surrounding them and selling them locally. 

We source all our strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants from berry fields in eastern Scotland.The temperate climate in Scotland allows for the fruit to be grown for longer, resulting in stronger flavours. We only use the finest quality ingredients in our preserves and marmalades. All our bitter oranges for our marmalades come from Seville - the home of the marmalade orange and we only ever use whole berries in our preserves, for a great tasting product. 

Our steam heated copper pans use a rollin traditional g boil method. The fruit and sugar is slowly boiled allowing the flavours to be released before gradually setting.To create the perfect home-cooked flavour we put a great deal of care and attention into judging exactly when our products are ready.
