About us
Black Mountains Preserves made in Wales
Black Mountains’ bespoke preserves are award winning and lovingly created in small cared-for batches of no more than 12 jars. Made using the traditional open pan method in Helen’s home kitchen, facing the Welsh Black Mountains in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales.
Just the good stuff!
Black Mountains Preserves range have a high fruit and less sugar content using the natural pectin from the fruit to help them set and giving you the true taste of the fruit. Tasty, tangy and not too sweet classic flavours include Blackcurrant Extra Jam or even a zesty Damson & Orange Preserve with freshly squeezed orange juice from the luxury collection.
You can also enjoy culinary worldwide influences across the World Collection, exclusive flavours such as Moroccan Marmalade, officially one of the best marmalades in the world or Asian Butternut Achar, a tangy Asian pickle.
All of the preserves are handmade and take time to produce. Occasionally some of the range is temporarily unavailable. Contact Helen directly to confirm next availability, as it is probably in production!
Gift sets, retail, mini jars and catering sizes are available and are all made using sustainable and recyclable packaging.
Personalised jars and gift messages make ideal luxury handmade bespoke gifts. Request your own personalised label.
