Our apricots normally come from Spain and they have been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years, hence their name, Armenian Plum. A simple and elegant golden apricot jam. Perfect spread on scone, flan or pastry. Each jar is carefully hand poured in small batches by our cooks. As you get more whole fruit in each jar by hand pouring.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as WILKIN & SONS LIMITED, number 00026233. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Today, the "Tiptree" estate includes farms in Tiptree, Tollesbury and Goldhanger." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
