F Duerr & Sons Ltd: The Oldest Family-Owned Jam Maker in England
Duerr’s is a name that has been synonymous with quality preserves for over 135 years. As the oldest family-owned jam maker in England, F Duerr & Sons Ltd has been producing delicious jams, marmalades, and other preserves since 1881. Based in Manchester, in the glorious North West of England, this company has a rich history and an unwavering commitment to quality.
The story of F Duerr & Sons Ltd began when Mary Ann Duerr started making jam at home to supplement her husband's income as a painter and decorator. Her son Fred joined her business and started selling their homemade jams door-to-door on his bicycle. In 1881, they established F Duerr & Sons Ltd as a formal business entity.
Over the years, the company grew steadily and expanded its product range to include marmalades, jellies, honey spreads, fruit butters and mincemeat. Today it is one of the largest independent manufacturers of preserves in Europe.
What sets F Duerr & Sons Ltd apart from other jam makers is their commitment to using only high-quality ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers. They use traditional recipes that have been passed down through generations of the family to create products that are bursting with flavor.
Their range includes classic flavors like strawberry jam and orange marmalade as well as more unusual combinations like blackcurrant with sloe gin or rhubarb with ginger. They also offer sugar-free options for those who want to enjoy their favorite spreads without added sugar.
In addition to their standard range of products sold under the "Duerr's" brand name they also produce private label products for major retailers across Europe including Tesco's Finest range which features several award-winning flavours such as Seville Orange Marmalade made using whole oranges which are hand-cut into fine shreds.
F Duerr & Sons Ltd is committed to sustainability and reducing their environmental impact. They have invested in renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, and use recyclable packaging wherever possible. They also work with local farmers to source their fruit and reduce food miles.
Their commitment to quality has been recognized with numerous awards over the years including the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2016 for their export achievements.
In conclusion, F Duerr & Sons Ltd is a company that has stood the test of time. Their commitment to quality ingredients, traditional recipes, and sustainable practices has made them a favorite among consumers across Europe. Whether you're spreading it on toast or using it in your baking recipes, you can trust that every jar of Duerr's preserves is made with care and attention to detail.
