Black Mountains Preserves

Nestled in Talgarth, with views of the Black Mountains in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, Black Mountains Preserves is an award-winning Welsh artisan business renowned for luxury preserves and gift sets. Each jar is lovingly handmade by Helen in small batches, averaging just 10-15 jars, ensuring exceptional quality and flavour. The preserves are vegan and free from additives, artificial flavourings, and preservatives—just the good stuff.

Popular creations include the Damson & Orange Jam, offering a rich, fruity taste with a hint of citrus, and the Sweet Chilli Jamalade, a sweet and smooth preserve with a spicy kick, perfect for enhancing a charcuterie board or as a BBQ marinade. For ginger enthusiasts, the Pear & Double Ginger Conserve is a delightful choice, featuring chunks of stem ginger and home-grown pears.

Gift sets are thoughtfully presented with personalised messages, making them ideal for any occasion. The Taste of Wales Gift Set, for instance, includes delights like Welsh Ale Butty Bach Chutney and Welsh Gin Marmalade made with local Black Mountains Botanical Gin, complemented by freshly baked Welsh cakes.

Committed to sustainability, Black Mountains Preserves offers a loyalty reward scheme for customers who return their used glass jars, promoting recycling and environmental responsibility.

Orders can be placed online, with local click-and-collect options available. For more details, visit their website or contact Helen directly.
