Marmalade made in the north-east has been hailed as some of the world’s best.
Chefs Louisa Bradford and Rupert Holden prepare their award-winning Seville orange marmalade in the kitchens at Kincardine Castle, near Aboyne.
Their recipe had twice been awarded gold in the artisan category of the Dalemain World’s Original Marmalade Awards.
And it triumphed again as the latest awards were announced in Penrith on Saturday.
Nicky Bradford, from Kincardine Kitchen, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won gold again.
“It’s always pleasing to know that someone else thinks you are doing a great job.
“We are very proud to be part of the huge resurgence in the food and drink industry in Aberdeenshire and are looking at new ways to build on our success.”
