Good to know
Description
Nova Citrus is born in Sicily, along the slopes of Etna, where the lava soil and the temperate climate favour the growth of fragrant fruit with an intense taste. Also known as the Nova mandarin, a cross between Orlando Tangelo and common Clementine, it stands out for having no seeds, its thin skin and its brilliant orange flesh, rich in juice and with an unmistakable fragrance.
The combination of volcanic soil, temperature swings and sustainable farming gives this citrus fruit a full flavour, with sweet notes balanced by a pleasant acidity. Every fruit is picked by hand in winter, when it reaches ideal ripeness, to guarantee freshness and quality.
Nova Citrus is one of the most appreciated varieties for its aromas and versatility, perfect both for everyday eating and for recipes in the kitchen and in pastry-making.
