Cooking / Culinary / citrus fruits
English term or phrase: Seville orange
I am not posting this under Botany because I want to know what this fruit is called in a cooking/shopping environment.
A friend in the U.K. has just told me that she can start making marmelade at last because the Seville oranges have come into the shops. Unfortunately I have never seen any Seville oranges in German shops in January, so I don't know what they are called (or what they would be called if they were sold here).
What Germans call "Orangenmarmelade" is often a sort of jam made with ordinary oranges, I fear.
Any Hobbyköche out there who know the name for this vital ingredient for genuine marmelade?

Bitterorangen / Pomeranzen
Explanation:
'Die Sevilla-Orange, auch Bitterorange oder Pomeranze genannt, wird für die Zubereitung der berühmten, englischen Orangen-Marmelade verwendet. ...'

Ich hoffe, das ist hilfreich. In Deutschland habe ich Bitterorangen gesehen, die den typisch bitteren Geschmack der marmalade erzeugen.

Asker: Thank you, Sandra! Your link is great, it even has a recipe for marmelade from Mrs Beeton. But it seems I must go to Switzerland to buy the fruit?

Sevilla-Orange (auch Bitterorange, Pomeranze und Saure Orange genannt)


Explanation:
Die Bitterorange oder Pomeranze (Citrus × aurantium L.), auch Sevilla-Orange und Saure Orange genannt, ist eine Zitruspflanze. Ihre Frucht ist orangenähnlich, aber bitter und kleiner. Entstanden ist die Bitterorange als Hybride zwischen Pampelmuse (Citrus maxima) und Mandarine (Citrus reticulata), wahrscheinlich im Süden Chinas

Die Pomeranze, im Latein Citrus aurantium L., oder auch Bitterorange, wie Sevilla-Orange und Saure Orange genannt, ist eine beliebte Zitruspflanze. Ihre Frucht ist zwar orangenähnlich, aber deutlich kleiner

If search engines are anything to go by, "Bitterorange" is the most common name by a long shot, Diana.
