Arthur Charles Wilkin joined with two friends to form the Britannia Fruit Preserving Company. He stipulated that the jam should be free of glucose, colouring & preservatives. The first jam was of such high quality & impressed one Australian merchant so much that he arranged to buy every last pot. As new varieties were added the distinction between jams made with home grown fruit ‘ Conserve’ & foreign produce ‘ Preserve’ was made. Tiptree's Organic Onion Relish is perfect with our cheddars & most semi-hard & hard cheeses.
