The story of Thursday Cottage Deluxe Strawberry Jam with Champagne
Jam that dressed for the occasion
Strawberry jam is the reliable one. It turns up on toast, in the middle of a Victoria sponge, on a scone at a village fete, and nobody makes a fuss. This one has Champagne in the name, so it is allowed to make a small fuss. It comes from Thursday Cottage, a jam maker that has done things the slow way since 1963. It is the jar that comes out when somebody you like is coming round, not the one that lives in the back of the fridge.
Read the full story
A cottage near Spaxton
The business started in 1963 in a cottage of that name outside Spaxton, Somerset. That explains the name, and saves everyone a lot of guessing about Thursdays. For many years it was owned and run by Hugh and Pam Corbin of Lyme Regis, who sold it in 2002. These days Thursday Cottage is an independent part of the Tiptree group, with production based at Trewlands Farm in Tiptree, Essex, where the range is still handmade.
About a hundred jars at a time
Each boil still produces only about 100 jars. That is not a typo, and it is not a factory. It is the small-batch style Thursday Cottage is known for, and the whole point of a firm that specialises in luxury handmade jams, marmalades and curds for the independent trade. You will not find it stacked by the till at a petrol station. You find it in the kind of shop where the owner knows your name and probably your dog's.
Good company, and a Royal Warrant
The parent company, Wilkin & Sons Ltd, was established in Tiptree, Essex, in 1885 and has held a Royal Warrant for preserves and marmalades continuously since 1911. It currently holds the Royal Warrant as Purveyors of Tiptree Products to King Charles III. Elsewhere in the Thursday Cottage range sits a Fine Cut Orange Marmalade with Whisky, so somebody there clearly likes breakfast with a bit of swagger. Your Sunday toast has never had it so good.
