mission statement

At Mackays, we craft authentic, high-quality preserves using traditional methods and local ingredients. Rooted in Scottish heritage, we are committed to delivering true ﬂavour and quality, bringing the taste of Scotland to homes worldwide.

WHY CHOOSE MACKAYS?

Bulit on a reputation of authentic taste, provenance and tradition Mackays is Scotland’s best loved producer of jam and marmalade.

We are dedicated to making our products in the most authentic way and our traditional approach is what has helped us create a demand of over 25 million jars per year.

We source all our strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants from the berry fields of eastern Scotland where the climate allows for the fruit to be grown for longer, resulting in stronger flavours. For our marmalades the oranges are imported from the Spanish city of Seville to preserve the heritage and unique flavours of a traditional marmalade.

To create the perfect harmony of ﬂavours we put a great deal of care into judging exactly when our products are ready. We taste our products once they are cooked to ensure every one of our jars has the authentic taste you would expect from every jar of Mackays.

Our steam heated copper-bottomed pans still use the rolling boil method where the fruit and sugar are slowly boiled allowing the ﬂavours to be released before gradually setting. We use copper as it is the best metal for conducting heat and allows us to cook everything over an even temperature.
