Calabrian Clementines: Precious Fruits Narrating Calabrian Tradition

The esteemed Calabrian PGI Clementines, cherished fruits with a history deeply embedded in the inland areas of Calabria, hold a prominent position due to their cultivation dating back to 1950. Flourishing in the Calabrian soil, characterized by a mild and consistent climate, these citrus gems showcase their exceptional qualities.

Clementines, a delightful hybrid of bitter orange and common mandarin, stand out as the most lucrative citrus variety, prized for their early ripening and delectable taste. Ripening as early as October, Clementines boast a distinctive feature – seedless pulp that is abundant in vitamins, aromatic notes, and sweetness.
