Neretvanska mandarina

Neretvanska mandarina is a citrus fruit similar to a tangerine. It is a segmented fruit with a rind that is easily peeled. The meat of this fruit is very sweet and aromatic, and orange in color due to high carotenoid content. The segments of fruit are easily divided.

The ratio of sugar to acid in the fruit must be higher than 7:1, which is important because this determines the taste and balance of sweetness, tartness and freshness. Every phase of production must take place in the area of the Neretva River Valley.
