We call mandarins all the
different varieties of "Citrus Reticulatas", including:
Clementinas, Clemenules, Clemenvillas, Fortunas, Marisoles
& Satsumas. They belong to the same family as the American
tangerines and the Italian mandarins.
85-90% of the Spanish
mandarins are produced in the Valencian Community.The main production
time is from November to March.
Clementines are the fastest
growing citrus fruit in Spain, and is widely exported, as it is
considered the perfect healthy snack, thanks to it's nutricional
values, easy peeling, small size and good taste.
The Spanish mandarin or Clementine crop is estimated at 2.230.000 tons this new season.
