Grown just off the coast of Ionian and Tyrrhenian sea, more precisely in Sybaris, the largest Calabrian plain nestled between the rivers of Crati and Coscile, and on the neighboring Gioia Tauro Plateau, the flavorful Calabrian clementines are the only Italian early-ripening variety, available from the beginning of October.
They are seedless, slightly flattened in shape and have a dark orange colored peel and a particularly juicy and aromatic flesh. Clementine di Calabria are widely used in the preparation of sorbets, juices and syrups, liqueurs, jams and preserves, fruit salads, creams, flans or mousses and for a real decadent treat, they can be enjoyed candied and chocolate-coated!
