Brand Tone

Authentic, Traditional, and Passionate, with an emphasis on Quality and Craftsmanship. Evocative & Appreciative (of nature/provenance)

Brand Values

• •Quality: the simplest of ingredients, generous quantities and intense natural flavours.
• •Tradition & Heritage: Deep respect for time honoured skills, by practising authentic techniques and reproducing traditional recipes.
• •Natural & Seasonal Ingredients: A strong emphasis on sourcing fresh, seasonal produce, often locally from Yorkshire and other specific UK regions, or from trusted suppliers sharing their values. They also use wild-gathered ingredients.
• •Artisanal Craftsmanship: Products are made principally by hand and in small batches, ensuring attention to detail and quality control.
• •Provenance: Pride in their Yorkshire roots and transparency about where ingredients are sourced.
• •Integrity & Honesty: Communicated through their straightforward approach to recipes and their commitment to natural processes.
• •Sustainability (emerging): Mention of sending off-peelings for biogas and associations with environmental charities suggest a growing awareness and commitment.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Continuously weave in the brand's heritage, the founder's passion, and the journey of the ingredients from farm (or hedgerow) to jar. This reinforces authenticity and tradition.
• •Use Sensory and Evocative Language: Describe flavours, textures, and aromas in a way that transports the reader (e.g., "intense, bright, natural flavours," "sumptuous jams thick with fruit," "translucent jewel like jellies"). Connect products to seasons and the Yorkshire landscape.
• •Highlight Quality and Craftsmanship: Consistently mention "handmade," "small batches," "finest ingredients," "traditional methods," and "natural sets." This justifies the premium nature of the products.
• •Maintain Authenticity and Sincerity: Avoid overly slick marketing jargon or exaggerated claims. Let the quality of the ingredients and the integrity of the process speak for themselves. The tone should feel honest and heartfelt.
• •Be Consistent Across All Platforms: Ensure the language used on the website, social media, packaging, and any advertisements reflects the same core tone and values, creating a unified brand experience.
